Light Her Path Giving Day 12 November
On Thursday 12 November, the SCEGGS community will come together for our fifth annual Light Her Path Giving Day.
Since its launch in 2020, Light Her Path has had two ambitious goals: to create exceptional spaces for learning and to expand scholarship opportunities for girls who might not otherwise have access to a SCEGGS education. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our community, students are now enjoying the benefits of Wilkinson House every day. Now, we turn our collective attention to the campaign’s second and equally important goal: expanding the SCEGGS Scholarship Program.
Scholarships have long been part of the SCEGGS story, helping ensure that financial circumstances alone do not prevent a young woman from accessing the opportunities a SCEGGS education provides. Few things have the capacity to transform lives as profoundly as a quality education, and we believe every student should have the opportunity to pursue her own path to personal excellence, regardless of her circumstances.
Today, 52 students in the Secondary School benefit from scholarship support, with assistance ranging from partial to full support. This year, we are particularly focused on extending scholarship opportunities into the Primary School, including through the new Jenny Allum Scholarships, which seek to address inequity and social disadvantage by creating pathways for local students to access a SCEGGS education.
Reflecting many of the values at the heart of our School, scholarships allow us to celebrate excellence, embrace diversity and inclusion, and support meaningful reconciliation. Each scholarship recipient brings her own experiences, perspectives and aspirations to our community, enriching the learning environment for all and contributing to the diversity that makes SCEGGS such a special place.
Why Give?
Our girls, and SCEGGS itself, have benefited enormously from the generosity and philanthropy of past generations. Giving Day is an opportunity for our community to come together and pay that generosity forward for future generations of SCEGGS girls.
Philanthropy makes possible what school fees alone cannot. Every scholarship awarded is an investment in opportunity, potential and belonging. Every gift helps ensure that talented young women can access the education and opportunities that will shape their future.
