The Sequamur Society honours and thanks those members of our BGS Community who have confirmed their intention to include Brighton Grammar School in their Will.
Why include BGS in your will
(L-R) Stephen Jones (OB71), Georgina Grigoriou, member of School Council.
“
Having worked so closely with the leadership, staff and parents of BGS over a number of years, I have had firsthand experience of the commitment, passion and hard work so many put in to doing the very best for our boys. It’s inspiring. But resources are always tight. I simply want to do my bit. Natalie van Wetering, Sequamur Society Member

Old Boy Stephen Jones (OB1971) and wife Georgina Grigoriou, member of School Council, and parents of Greg Year 12 share their reasons for leaving a bequest to BGS. Why BGS? BGS is an integral part of bayside living and ticks all the educational boxes. Firstly, it’s a one campus school; secondly, a single sex school focused upon teaching boys academically, culturally and spiritually; thirdly, BGS has a long and proud history within the bayside community; and finally BGS shares a special relationship with its sister school, Firbank Grammar. We must ensure BGS survives and prospers in good and bad times. It is an undeniable fact that BGS, like other independent schools, is receiving less and less funding from state and federal governments. Hence those who have enjoyed a first rate education at BGS, should, if financially able, leave a financial legacy in their Will to ensure ongoing prosperity of the School for future generations. All bequests big or small in some measure collectively make a real difference to the economic future viability of the school. Accordingly, as an old boy, a member of School Council and both enjoying seeing our son completing his Year 12 from ELC, we have no hesitation in making a bequest to BGS in our respective Wills - we invite others to do so. Remember every little bit helps!"
