About the organisation
To uphold our integrity and to ensure our programmes and events are in-line with our mission, we constantly reflect on our primary role, this being to assist the School to achieve its vision to be the leading comprehensive school in Australia.
It is this vision that drives our commitment to the following programmes and events: Capital Campaign ‘Our Heritage, Our Future’, Parent Voluntary Donation Programme, Headmaster’s Scholarship and Bursary Programme, Bequest Programme, Icebreaker, All Sports Lunch (biennial) and the Garden Party (biennial).
In 2015/2016 through our programmes and events we were able to increase our donor base by 26%. We are very grateful to all our donors and supporters for allowing us to record our most profitable year to date with donations totalling just over $3m.
A major focus for the Foundation is the Capital Campaign, ‘Our Heritage, Our Future’, supporting the development of the Shore Physical Education Centre. This centre is the largest building project in the history of the School and we are delighted with the support our fundraising endeavours have received to date. In mid to late 2017 we will see the demolition of current facilities and the start of a new building era for Shore.
In 2017 we look forward to working in partnership with the Shore community to achieve the best possible outcomes for all students.
