FIRBANK GIVING 2019 The gift of a Firbank education

Pay It Forward The Pay It Forward Scholarship* is the brainchild of our current VCE Class led by Annabel Cox and Mia Shepherd, our Senior School Co-Captains.

This will become the legacy of the Class of 2019 as they go beyond the Firbank gates. Our Year 12 students have already commenced a fundraising program towards this Scholarship.

We would love you to join the students.

Make an impact, change a life - the Scholarship will provide an education for a girl whose family does not have the resources to send their daughter to Firbank. *This is a means tested scholarship

The gift of a Firbank education has changed my life

CRICOS Provider No 00140K

Firbank Grammar simply shaped who I am today. All of the Outdoor Education Programs, extra-curricular activities and academic work helped me to find a new confidence in myself and my abilities. The School encouraged me to discover what I am capable of inside and outside the classroom. It inspired me to become a hard worker, an adventurer and a well-rounded young woman. Without the Scholarship I would not have had these opportunities. I will always be grateful to Firbank.

Art Precinct Redevelopment

CRICOS Provider No 00140K

Firbank Grammar is a not-for-profit school, so we rely on the support of parents and alumni to help fund new developments.

We are seeking to develop a new Arts Precinct at our Senior School. The new studios and learning spaces will further enhance students’ opportunities to challenge themselves and explore a variety of creative pursuits, underpinned by a rich and long tradition of Art and Design at Firbank.

The new precinct has been designed to respect and maintain the heritage of the Louis Williams Building.

The participation in Arts Programs motivates students to explore their creativity and allows them to express themselves in diverse forms. It opens their minds to greater possibilities and provides them with the tools to examine life through the medium of Art.

So much at Firbank is a result of the generosity of the Firbank Community.

Please join me in making a difference at Firbank in our 110th Year and beyond. No matter the amount, everything counts and the impact of giving will help us reach our goals.

A contribution is a meaningful way to honour your family and their name. At Firbank, we welcome a pledge donation over 2 or 3 years or a single gift. All donations are tax deductable.

I encourage all members of the Firbank community to support this year’s Giving Program. Every donation, whatever the size will go towards either supporting the Year 12 girls in establishing a new scholarship for a girl who in normal circumstances would not be able to attend, or help us establish an exciting new Arts Precinct.
