CELEBRATING 90 Years
THE GABRIEL FOUNDATION – ENRICHING TOMORROW I HOPE YOU HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO ENJOY ONE OF THE MANY NINETIETH CELEBRATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN HELD FOR THE SCHOOL THIS YEAR. I HAVE ENJOYED TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY OF MEETING MANY MORE COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAN WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE OTHERWISE. IT HAS BEEN WONDERFUL TO MEET THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE EXPRESSED INTEREST IN, OR ASKED FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT, WHAT THE GABRIEL FOUNDATION HAS BEEN DOING AND WHAT WE HAVE PLANNED FOR THE FUTURE. Recently you would have received Gabriel Giving. This is just one activity the Foundation conducts with the support of the Development Office in order to continue our goal of raising funds for the School. Gabriel Giving is sent to every person in our community; Grammarians, current parents, staff, grandparents, past parents and friends.

We thank the Maljkovic family for their generous gift.
The other activities of the Foundation include promoting the 1926 Bequest Society, and talking with families in the community about our future fundraising aims. Our goal of making an impact through philanthropy by advancing educational opportunities for students is a rewarding one for those who serve on the Gabriel Board and who join our circle of giving.
If you wish to be involved or to learn more about the philanthropic program, please feel free to contact me or Jo Mulligan, Director of Development on 02 6202 6423.
