About the Foundation

The King’s School Foundation, together with the Development Office, is the body through which the philanthropic initiatives for the School are advanced. Its primary role is to ensure that it is investing in the School’s future. 

The Foundation manages programs such as:

  • Annual Giving
  • Scholarships
  • Building Funds and Appeals
  • Bequests and Benefactions
  • Co-curricular and Support Group infrastructure

The Foundation’s efforts reach across the entirety of The King’s School community: Old Boys, parents and past parents, staff and friends are all essential parts of our philanthropic endeavours. 

Your gifts make a transformational difference in the lives of current students and their experience at The King’s School. 

You may make your donation through our easy-to-use payment portal:

 

Gratitude:

We celebrate with gratitude to God and each other. Gratitude is important in celebrating excellence in others, for keeping us humble and protects us from a spirit of complaint.​

Annual Giving Day

Support our Appeals and Initiatives

Support the development and maintenance of our wonderful facilities. The buildings and facilities from which generations of students have benefited, are almost entirely the result of the generosity of families. We are grateful for their support and commitment. In supporting the development and maintenance of our facilities, it unlocks the potential of every student and future generation of students. Make an unfettered tax-deductible donation to the building fund of either The King’s School or Tudor House.

It has become increasingly harder for our inter-generational King’s families from the bush to send their boys to board at the School. To preserve our School culture and connection to rural Australia, we plan to provide pathways for country families and sons of Old Boys to come to King’s. The project seeks philanthropic support towards boarding bursaries. This important initiative is called The Next Crop and is part of an overall strategy of investment in agricultural programs and people. (Note: Donations to this project of $2 or more are tax deductible)

Project highlights:

  • Preserve the School’s culture: Providing boarding bursaries to rural families will preserve the heritage of the School and it’s long-standing connection to the bush. 
  • Increase boarding enrolments: By offering bursaries for boarders, the School can increase the number of country boarders to ensure the right balance of enrolments at the School. 
  • Offer Agricultural Pathways: Boarding bursaries will enable country boys to have a premium boarding experience and improve our agricultural career pathways.

As we journey together towards the 2031 bicentenary, this is an opportunity to make your mark in the history of King’s – Australia’s oldest independent school. The Chapel Pavillion project is no small undertaking. Given the deep history and connection to the Memorial Chapel, it seems only fitting for the building to be recognised to the families that have donated, with all significant donors honoured in perpetuity. 

  • A 250-seat indoor/outdoor classroom to facilitate educational programs that nurture our boys’ character development, commitment to service-learning and leadership. 
  • Space that accommodates a whole year group who can assemble and immerse themselves in the rich history, traditions and culture of the School as a Christian community.
  • A multipurpose venue with amenities and catering facilities where the community can gather to celebrate significant events.

The new Tudor House Recreation Shed will feature a generous 900-square-metre indoor area, complemented by a 200-square-metre covered outdoor space. designed as a flexible, multipurpose facility, it will support a wide range of School needs from outdoor programs, sports and boarding house activities to community events and gatherings. This all-weather venue will fit the whole School, providing students and staff with a reliable, year-round space to connect, participate and thrive.

The Jack Egan Awards were established in memory of Old Boy Jack Egan (’54) who attended both Tudor House and The King’s School (’59). He earned the distinction of Dux, School Captain, sportsman, writer and beloved friend. Jack’s deep affection for Tudor house inspired his peers to create a bursary that opens the doors of a Tudor House education to students who show potential but whose families may not have the means. Your gift to this award helps provide life changing opportunities for students with strong academic capability and talent in areas such as sport, music, drama or art.
