“I grew up on a sheep and cropping farm in Kulin, a small town in Western Australia. Since moving into Ormond I have had some amazing experiences. I have Ormond to thank for highlighting the importance of diversity and supporting others. Thank you once again for your generosity, it has had an unimaginable impact on my education and personal development.� Annabel Wilson, Commerce 2, 2018 recipient of the Pompey Elliot Rural Scholarship

“My time at Ormond has been nothing short of some of the most enjoyable, critical and eye-opening years of my life so far. I have had countless unique opportunities, forged lifetime friendships and have earned a truly world-class degree which has only been bolstered by my time here. None of these opportunities would have been possible without the generous assistance of people from the Ormond community.� Patrice Cialdella, Arts 3, 2018 recipient of the Access Scholarship and the Alex Lyne Educational Trust Scholarship
