From the Chair of the Trust

I am thrilled to welcome back the SCEGGS community for 2023 and extend a warm welcome to families who are new to SCEGGS. I hope you all found time to relax and recharge.

The SCEGGS Trust is the fundraising arm of the school and our vision is to ensure the opportunity and excellence of a SCEGGS education is secure for generations to come through increasing diversity through scholarships, capital development and cultural resources.

The SCEGGS Trust raises money for two main purposes:

• Scholarships to broaden the opportunity of a SCEGGS education and increase diversity among the school’s students.
• Capital works to evolve our inner-city campus to deliver world-class education through outstanding facilities and technology.

SCEGGS stands here today as the result of the vision, drive and generosity of individuals in our community including those who founded the school, saved SCEGGS from the 1970s financial crisis and invested in our future through scholarships and redevelopment of our unique site.

The development of SCEGGS is the result of ongoing investment and generosity of past and present members of our community – parents, old girls, educators and leaders committed to excellence in education and the unique values the school instils.

2022 was significant year in the history of the Trust. Not only was it our 30-year anniversary, but we also finally launched our Light Her Path campaign with the goal of raising $12 million for the redevelopment of Wilkinson House and $8 million to expand our means-tested scholarship program.

The past year has shown the strength of our SCEGGS community and our ability to rally together with shared vision and values. We are very grateful and proud of the phenomenal support we received from our community. The work of the SCEGGS Trust serves to further that vision and work together to create opportunity for every SCEGGS girl, now and in the future.

I look forward to sharing news with you as the works on Wilkinson House progress and we continue to grow our Scholarship Fund.

The Trust prides itself on doing all that we can for the benefit of SCEGGS girls, and we look forward to sharing in that with you through the year.
