Foundation President’s report
SCOTT CHIRNSIDE (OGC 1970), FOUNDATION PRESIDENT
Another year has been ripped from under us by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, I am constantly reminded of the resilience of our school community, particularly our students and staff. Our students and staff have set such a wonderful example of remaining positive in the face of isolation and lost experiences. With substantial vaccination numbers and the return of some students to school, I look forward to more normal times ahead. Congratulations to our Year 12s on their remarkable spirit and flexibility during this year of challenges. Your resilience will be a quality that helps you for the rest of your lives.
Annual Giving – Thanks for your support! Thank you to our amazing College community for getting behind our Annual Giving campaign this year and supporting our Scholarship fund, in particular Boarding Scholarships, Pegasus Scholarships and the Bill Williams Tjungurrayi Scholarship. Your generous contributions have also allowed us to continue the refurbishment of the Cloisters through your giving to
our Building Fund. Our Annual Giving campaign raised over $112,000 and we can’t thank you enough for your continued support of the College. Foundation Scholarships One of the best things the Foundation get to do is offer opportunities for students to experience all that The Geelong College has to offer. Among other things, we do this by offering two Foundation Scholarships and an Ad Astra Issue No 141
