Legacy Gift of Class of 2019
The Yr 12 Legacy Gift team capped off their wonderful fundraising efforts by running a Sausage Sizzle and a Student vs Staff Basketball tournament last Thursday. The sun came out and shone on the fun but hotly contested game, seeing the Student team be crowned the winners!
“The Legacy Git campaign has only made me feel more grateful for the opportunities that my own scholarship has provided me at Redlands, and made me passionate about ensuring this experience for future students who would otherwise be lacking the necessary means”. Ela Kos, Class of 2019
“I chose to be involved in the Legacy Gift team as I really think it was important for me to give back to the School since I have been at Redlands since Kindergarten. The Scholarship Fund is a really important thing to me”. Zoe Kimber, Class of 2019
During the Valedictory dinner which took place last night, Dr Lennox and the Chair of the Board, Glenda Mcloughlin, acknowledged incredible efforts of our students and the whole community. The means-tested scholarships reflect on our School values such as compassion and responsibility and will enhance the diversity among our student body. All fundraising efforts so far have raised just over $482,000 of which Class of 2019 raised $10,200. Well done to everyone involved!
If you wish to join us and our Yr 12 students on this journey and contribute to this wonderful cause with a tax deductible gift, please
Every gift matters!
