THE GIFT OF A LAURISTON EDUCATION THE GIFT OF OPPORTUNITY IN ACTION

Many of those girls who have received scholarship

support are now helping to shape the future,

successfully paving their way in a diverse range of fields.

Women such as Manasa, who chose to pursue

a career in medicine in order to further the

understanding of neuroscience and is about to

present her first research paper on neurosurgery

at a conference in Amsterdam. In her spare

time Manasa is a member of Doctors for the

Environment; a passion that was ignited whilst she

was at Howqua. And Penny, who, inspired by her

involvement in Lauriston’s Music program, studied

both music and language at university before

completing her teaching qualification and has just

commenced her career as a qualified music teacher.

The Lauriston Foundation currently offers one

all-round excellence scholarship (the Lauriston

Foundation Scholarship) and is building the

capacity to fund a second scholarship to

support a young woman to pursue her creative

talents (the Lauriston Foundation Creative

and Performing Arts Scholarship). Both

scholarships are needs-based, going to girls

who could not otherwise afford a Lauriston

education. The donations we receive are

carefully invested and managed, with an annual

drawdown used to fund these scholarships

in perpetuity. So the gift you give today will

benefit young women now and in the future.

How can YOU give?

By choosing to contribute to our

Scholarship Fund you are giving a young

woman the opportunity to undertake Years

10-12 at Lauriston and giving her the skills

and abilities she will need to shape the

future. If we can together raise $90,000 for

the Scholarship Fund, you will enable one

girl to be enriched by a Lauriston education

and give her the gift of opportunity.

Or talk to us about establishing a named

scholarship – either for a fixed term or in

perpetuity. You can choose to establish a

scholarship by making a donation today or

you may wish to establish a scholarship in

the future by leaving a bequest.

You can also choose to give a gift to the

Building Fund, the Library Fund or the

Education Fund. Donations to the Building

Fund, the Library Fund and the Scholarship

Fund are tax deductible.

All donations – small and large – combine

to deliver an impact and are very much

appreciated. We acknowledge all our

donors by name only.

YOUR SUPPORT IN ACTION Thanks to your generosity our 2018 Annual

Appeal raised just over $88,000. As a result,

we grew our Scholarship Fund and ensured the

continuation of support for a young woman’s

Lauriston education. We also raised funds to

support the development of our new Sports and

Health Precinct, and our girls benefited from

additional digital and print resources.
