The Somerville House Foundation has raised more than $17.5 million, since 1984. Gifts to the Foundation are used to build incredible facilities, support programs that otherwise would not be available and provide scholarships and bursaries for talented students in need of financial assistance.
- Ms Bethwyn Todd, Somerville House Foundation Chair
As a registered charity, gifts directed to the Somerville House Foundation Building Fund; Scholarships & Bursaries Fund; and Cultural Fund, attract a tax deduction.
The Foundation partners with the School to provide exceptional learning opportunities, and to deliver programs, projects and infrastructure that have a lasting impact.
The Building Fund supports the School’s strong commitment to delivering a relevant, first-class learning environment to facilitate exceptional learning outcomes. The Foundation is aligned with the School’s Master Plan and contributes to the development of educational facilities and capital resources.
The Scholarship & Bursaries Fund plays an important role in fostering a culture that celebrates and values achievement, diversity and the pursuit of personal excellence. A number of scholarships are awarded each year to students who might not normally be able to access a Somerville House education. The Foundation plays an important role by assisting students experiencing financial hardship through the provision of bursaries.
The Cultural Fund supports co-curricular activities such as Music, Robotics, Chess, Debating, Duke of Edinburgh, and Christian Fellowship.
Donations over $2 made to the Cultural Fund are tax deductible.
