Giving Day – Every gift supports the Jenny Allum Scholarships

On Wednesday 5 November, our school community will gather for the Light Her Path annual Giving Day – a day that’s all about coming together and opening doors for every SCEGGS girl. For 24 hours, every donation will be doubled by generous matching donors.

Giving Day is about participation, not just fundraising. This year we hope even more families join in to help us honour Jenny Allum’s 30 years of leadership and service by supporting the Jenny Allum Scholarships. Last year more than 250 donors took part – let us break that record!

These scholarships are more than financial support – they are a celebration of Ms Allum’s enduring legacy defined by her unwavering commitment to education. The Jenny Allum Scholarships will open doors for girls in Year 3, giving them the chance to begin their SCEGGS journey early, laying the foundation for future success while remaining close to home and family.

Plain Clothes Day

On Giving Day, the girls will mark the occasion by wearing plain clothes and enjoying a House BBQ, each bringing a gold coin donation – a small gesture that, when multiplied across our community, becomes something extraordinary.

Giving Day is our chance to pay it forward, to honour the generosity of those who came before us, and to ensure that every girl who walks through the green gate has the chance to thrive.

As Giving Day approaches, we invite you to join us. Give generously for you, for your daughters, and for the generations of SCEGGS girls yet to come.

There will never be a better day to make your mark.

Best wishes
