Thank you to those who have already generously supported the College in 2019! Please join us and continue supporting our students as part of Annual Giving 2019.
There’s always time to give!

 

With every gift, we are one step closer to providing more scholarships, more bedrooms and more study and social spaces for St Andrew’s College students. Every gift has a direct impact on our students and it is because of your generosity that we are able to do this.

 

A message from the Principal:

“Thank you to all our donors. In 2018 total giving reached over $800,000, with $103,055 raised via Annual Giving and its focus on our Scholarships Program, Thyne Reid Link Development and the Senior Student’s Fund. This year, as part of the major campaign, we sharpen our focus to the College’s two key fundraising objectives that will enable access to Andrew’s; means-tested financial scholarships and the new Thyne Reid Link Development. With your gift to Annual Giving, you have the opportunity to create a world class college experience for the students of St Andrew’s and join our campaign community.”

Our Annual Giving Priorities for 2019 are…

Financial Means-Tested Scholarships

Currently, our funds cannot keep pace with the ever-increasing demand for financial assistance and scholarships amongst our students.

To allow students from a wide variety of backgrounds the chance to become part of and contribute to St Andrew’s College, we are seeking your support to increase our scholarship funds.

This year we aim to focus on increasing the below scholarship funds:

  • Rural and Regional Scholarships
  • Government Schools Scholarships
  • Indigenous Scholarships

“I think the scholarships are not only important for the recipients themselves to enable them to achieve things otherwise unable, but are also highly beneficial for the wider college community… the opportunity that college provided me was incredible and I hope that I can someday contribute to helping a similar student have the same support.”
– Illie Hewitt (Fr 2015), Rural & Regional Scholarship Recipient 2016-2018

 

Thyne Reid Link Development

With over 300 students residing at St Andrew’s College, the demand for residencies exceeds the College’s capacity, meaning many outstanding young women and men miss out on the opportunity to join the St Andrew’s community. To enable us to offer more places to deserving students, we are currently undertaking the largest single expansion since the College’s inception.

The Thyne Reid Link Development began construction in November 2018 and will incorporate approximately 85 new single and ensuite bedrooms, as well as 4 and 5 bedroom apartments, and much-needed tutorial rooms, music rehearsal rooms, a gym and social common areas.

To ensure we continue providing access and the best college life for students, please support one of the options below:

  • Thyne Reid Link Development Fund
  • Thyne Reid Gym & Equipment
  • Thyne Reid Music Room & Equipment
  • Thyne Reid Social Common Room

“This new building development is extremely exciting. The upgrade in facilities is much needed and the opportunity to allow for a larger intake to match our enormous demand is very promising.”
– Jack Mackenzie-Wood (Fr 2016), Senior Student 2019
