The Cranbrook Foundation: Bringing Our Community Together

We were excited to welcome close to 400 Year 7 parents and those joining the School in 2025 at our annual Welcome Cocktail evening, held on the Mackay Lawn. The Foundation is here to help make that transition to Cranbrook, as a parent, smooth and enjoyable, offering plenty of opportunities to get involved, meet other families, and feel at home at Cranbrook.

At Cranbrook, we know that school is about more than just the classroom—it’s about the friendships, connections, and shared experiences that make our community special. The Cranbrook Foundation plays a key role in bringing parents, alumni, and supporters together beyond school drop-offs and sports matches, creating opportunities to meet, connect, and feel part of something bigger.

Through a range of welcoming gatherings and networking events, the Foundation helps parents build lasting relationships, whether you’re new to the school or have been part of the community for years. With Cranbrook moving towards coeducation in 2026, staying connected has never been more important, and the Foundation ensures that every family feels supported and included.

Whether it’s a casual catch-up, a formal event, or simply a chance to meet other parents, the Cranbrook Foundation, in partnership with the Cranbrook School Parents’ Association (CSPA) and the Old Cranbrookians’ Association (OCA, is here to help you stay connected, engaged, and part of our wonderful community.
