Opportunities to support Santa Sabina College in 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we begin an exciting year at Santa Sabina College, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our community for your ongoing commitment to the education, wellbeing and future of our students. Your generosity enables us to grow, innovate and create learning environments that empower young people to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2026, there are several meaningful opportunities for families, alumni and friends of the College to make a lasting impact. We are pleased to share an update on three key initiatives: the Rosary Garden Appeal, the Annual Appeal and the next major chapter in our campus development \u2013 the construction of the new Sport and Aquatic Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rosary Garden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Garden was conceived to recognise the journey of prayer and its importance in the Dominican tradition. A perfect place for contemplation and play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the successful completion and opening of the Rosary Garden on the Del Monte campus and the launch of our Rosary garden appeal, I am reaching out to everyone in our community to be part of this historic milestone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

St Dominic devised the rosary after he was moved by a vision of our Blessed Mother \u2013 he preached the use of the rosary in his missionary work. Our Rosary Garden is a space where our community to gather for prayer, contemplation and play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We invite you to secure a Hail Mary plaque<\/strong> by having your\/family name recorded on a plaque and support current and future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Annual Appeal \u2013 May\/June 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s Annual Appeal will take place in May and June<\/strong>, focusing on two important priorities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scholarships<\/strong>
Your support helps open doors for students whose talents, potential, and aspirations align with the values of Santa Sabina College, but who would not otherwise be able to access an education here. Scholarship gifts transform lives \u2013 creating opportunities, inspiring confidence, and fostering equity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building Fund<\/strong>
The Building Fund enables us to maintain and enhance our campus facilities, ensuring our students learn in environments that reflect excellence, innovation and care. Contributions this year will directly support ongoing campus improvements as well as the broader vision guiding our master planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every donation, no matter the size, strengthens the future of Santa Sabina College and supports our commitment to delivering an exceptional, values\u2011driven education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction of the Santa Sabina Sport and Aquatic Centre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Sport and Aquatic Centre represents a major investment in the wellbeing, sporting excellence and holistic development of our students. It will significantly enhance opportunities for physical activity, co\u2011curricular programs, and community engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the months ahead, we will share construction milestones and offer opportunities for families and donors to be part of this vision through targeted giving options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How you can support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your generosity, in any form, contributes to the thriving future of Santa Sabina College. Whether by supporting the Rosary Garden, participating in the Annual Appeal, or contributing to the Sport and Aquatic Centre, your gift helps us continue the Dominican tradition of educating young people through study, service, prayer and community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
