Autumn 2021
FOUNDATION FROM THE CHAIRMAN
NEWS
Through the valuable work of our Foundation executive team, our Winged Heart Society has grown in number, stature and significance in recent times: in approximate terms, around half of the $15 million in ‘corpus and pledged funds’ is from its members. As Chairman, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all current members for your generosity and foresight. As you read through this bulletin, you will hear about the legacies from two Old Haileyburians who have sadly passed away recently. They valued what the School gave them so much that their generosity and foresight will change the lives of those they shall never meet. Such stories demonstrate philanthropy at its finest.
Giving is a very personal endeavour – we can give our time voluntarily or donate a portion of our income or assets (or even both). Should we decide to do the latter, we have a further choice to make: to donate during our lifetime – through a tax-deductible gift – or after we have passed.
Leaving your legacy is more straightforward than it might sound. Every one of us needs to ensure we have a valid will. If you are drawing up a new one, you could include a Haileybury donation in it; if you already have one, you need only instruct your solicitor to insert a codicil into it. NEIL SUTCLIFFE CHAIRMAN, HAILEYBURY FOUNDATION
For those wishing to do the latter, the Haileybury Foundation created the Winged Heart Society: to recognise and provide fellowship for those in our community who have channelled their goodwill and generosity through their Will. In doing so, they leave behind their own, very personal legacy.
FROM THE VICE PRINCIPAL
CREATING NEW SCHOLARSHIPS AND NEW OPPORTUNITIES I have enjoyed several conversations recently with Old Haileyburians and Haileybury families who have decided to create new scholarships that honour past staff members who contributed significantly to their lives and future success. These gifts of scholarships will have the capacity to change students’ lives forever, to foster excellence and, ultimately, to benefit the fabric of our society. Many of Haileybury’s scholarship recipients have gone on to make extraordinary contributions to our community by advancing our collective knowledge, reforming government and corporate policies and practices, making significant scientific or medical advances and adding to the cultural space in which we live.
Haileybury scholarships help unlock the potential of students from all walks of life by providing access to the educational experiences available at one of Australia’s leading schools. Scholarships are offered to talented students who have the potential and ambition to be future agents of positive change. Bursaries are available to students facing financial issues that would prevent them from attending Haileybury. These include current students whose families may be facing unexpected financial difficulty.
HOW TO ESTABLISH A NEW SCHOLARSHIP OR BURSARY Scholarships and bursaries can be established through a gift to the School, or by recognising the School in your will. You may care to consider naming a scholarship or bursary in honour or memoriam of a family member or friend, a teacher or another person who has been influential in your life. Please contact us to discuss your options for creating a new scholarship or bursary. SCOTT DORAN VICE PRINCIPAL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & ADVANCEMENT
