GIVING - THE GIFT OF EDUCATION
Through a culture of giving, we will build upon the extraordinary 150-year history of
The Hamilton and Alexandra College and honour the philanthropic support of
our founders and connected community members.
College opened in 1872 through the commitment and vision of local pastoralists to provide a high level of education right here in Hamilton, without the need to send their children away to prepare for university entrance examinations.
Now, we are incredibly proud of our alumni and all that they have gone on to achieve in different fields and industries.
The Foundation board thanks the many local families and businesses that have ensured the
College has continued to grow and prosper for the benefit of the whole community.
NURTURING ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITY
College is committed to remaining at the forefront of education. To achieve this, we rely on fundraising so we can continuously maintain, update and expand our facilities and programs. The Hamilton and Alexandra College Foundation, established in 1992, aims to seek philanthropic support for the College’s ongoing development and to secure the College’s financial independence.
SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Our equity scholarships are designed to support families that prioritise the benefit of receiving a quality education but require financial assistance to make this dream a reality.
150 CLUB
In 2022, the school’s sesquicentenary year, the Foundation launched the 150 Club. Funds raised through this philanthropic group are dedicated to supporting students who could not otherwise afford to attend College.
BUILDING FUND
Over the past 18 years, we have spent more than $28 million on College infrastructure. Our facilities provide best in-class learning opportunities for our students, both in academia and co-curricular activities, and are also available for the local community to utilise. Giving to the Building Fund supports College students throughout their school journey.
Contributions to this fund are allowable deductions under section 78 (4) (2.1.10) of the Income Tax Assessment Act.
CAPITAL CAMPAIGNS
Our Capital Campaigns (or significant building projects) seek to raise funds by attracting key gifts for specific large scale or building projects. Your gift can be pledged over several years or as a single gift.
BEQUESTS
The Chaucer Society (formed in 2001) acknowledges and honours those who remember the College in their will and membership is open to any person who makes a bequest to the school.
