To be frank, giving to SCEGGS wasn\u2019t an obvious choice for us. We\u2019ve previously directed most of our giving towards small community organisations where need seemed greatest and our giving could have an impact. But we decided to give to SCEGGS for three reasons. First, it is a small organisation where gifts of any size can have impact, not so awash with funds or flush with facilities that our gift might seem superfluous. Second, there are few things more transformative for those who wouldn\u2019t otherwise be able to access it than first-class education in an educational setting where they feel safe, heard, and supported. We could see how our gift would help enlarge that opportunity. Third, we think that making the Green Gate wider, so to speak, benefits everyone. The greatest institutions of learning of this century are those with a meaningful commitment to diversity and to attracting thinkers and learners from a wide range of backgrounds. And we want nothing less for our daughter and other girls than an educational institution that aspires to greatness.

We gave to Light Her Path to ensure future generations of students at SCEGGS benefited from modern, efficient and sustainable facilities, as our girls have enjoyed in the facilities paid for by prior generations.\u00a0 We saw it as our way of “paying it forward”, given the opportunities that our daughters have received by being a student at one of Australia’s best schools.

SCEGGS has been built through the generosity of past generations.\u00a0 It\u2019s our turn to give.<\/p>\n
