Message from the Principal Independent schools have long been bolstered by the generosity and vision of those who understand that education is an investment.

Philanthropy plays a vital role in strengthening and enriching a great school, and Pembroke’s ongoing success is greatly supported by the commitment and kindness of our community. Your support matters. I am delighted to share our annual Impact of Giving report with you. In 2025, we received $681,000 in donations. Each and every gift has an impact, and the generosity of the Pembroke community continues to humble me. I am deeply grateful for every gift. In 2025, philanthropic support enabled significant investment across a number of key areas including Scholarships, campus development and facilities through the Building Fund, our Indigenous Education Program, hardship Bursaries for families facing personal challenges and the Didi Medlin Centre for Professional Growth. Together, these initiatives help ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive and that our staff continue to grow and innovate in their practice. My sincere thanks to the Pembroke community, members of the Pembroke Foundation Board and the Development Office for their dedication to nurturing a culture of philanthropy at Pembroke.

Message from the Chair of the Foundation Board I am delighted to report that the culture of philanthropy at Pembroke continues to grow.

In 2025, the Foundation enjoyed an outstanding year, marked by strong engagement with our supporters, a highly successful community Giving Day for our Indigenous Education Program and an impactful fundraising campaign for our new Junior School Playground. It has been a year defined by extraordinary generosity, for which I am extremely thankful. We received gifts from 1,014 donors totalling an impressive $681,000. I am pleased to share some of the highlights of 2025. In June, we hosted a Giving Day in support of our Indigenous Education Program. This was a one-day fundraising initiative that brought the entire School community together. Through strong community participation, the initiative raised just over $222,000. Our Junior School Playground campaign, aptly named Play it Forward, also received enthusiastic support. Community members were invited to ‘Buy a Brick’ to be engraved with a family name or message and laid in the playground, or to sponsor specific Playground equipment. The initiative was promoted at Junior School Sports Day, Grandfriends’ Day and across the broader community, generating a tremendous response. Almost 200 bricks were purchased, and all Playground equipment was generously sponsored.

Our Scholarships Program continues to flourish. In 2025, five students were the beneficiaries of Scholarships fully supported by our community. We were also delighted to introduce the new Indulkaninna Foundation Scholarship for Boarding and Sport, which has been awarded to a deserving student commencing in 2026. We extend our sincere thanks to the Indulkaninna Foundation for their extraordinary support. Scholarships made possible entirely through philanthropic giving include the Pembroke Community Scholarship, the Margaret Sellars’ Scholarship, the Indulkaninna Foundation Scholarship and the Scholarship for the Love of Learning in the IB. We are incredibly grateful to all donors whose contributions make these opportunities possible. Other highlights of the year included visits to China and Hong Kong to engage with members of our global community, and the Claridge Harris Club Luncheon, where we recognised and thanked those who have pledged a gift to the School in their Wills.

We celebrated excellence through the presentation of the Margaret Meadows Award for exceptional work in Design and Technology and the Legh and Helen Davis Award for Drama Performance. We were pleased, too, to establish a new award for Public Speaking, graciously supported by old scholars Professor Rick Sarre and Ms Natasha Stott Despoja AC. We also congratulate the outstanding Parents’ and Friends’ Association for their support of the Junior School Playground campaign, which included fundraising activities at the annual Mother’s Day Lunch at the Adelaide Oval and The Long Lunch held at the National Wine Centre. We welcomed current parent and parent of two old scholars Ms Tania Smyth as a new Foundation Board member in November and farewelled Mr David Minns. As a valued member of the Pembroke community and parent of old scholars Steph (2010) and Sarah (2012), David made an extraordinary contribution to the governance and financial stewardship of the School and our Foundation. A Chartered Accountant and Founder and Director of Jaquillard Minns, David brought to Pembroke deep expertise in philanthropy, investment strategy and best practice governance. Joining the Foundation Board in 2010 and serving as Chair from 2012 to 2020, alongside his service on the School Board from 2012 to 2019, he played a pivotal role in shaping the Foundation’s modern structure and long-term direction.

David authored the Pembroke Foundation Investment Strategy in 2015 and led the successful restructuring of the School’s fundraising operations to support major gifts and long-term investment growth. He developed and refined key financial models to guide significant capital decisions, and chaired the Investment Committee from its inception, continuing in that role until 2023. His leadership extended to establishing guiding principles for the Endowment Fund and, most recently, implementing Foundation Dashboard Reports to strengthen transparency and reporting. David leaves a legacy of strategic vision, robust governance and enduring impact on the sustainability and growth of the Pembroke School Foundation. Thank you to all of those who support the Pembroke School Foundation, and I hope you will continue to walk alongside the School as we build on our culture of philanthropy in 2026, and beyond.

Scholarships, Awards and Prizes In 2025, five students were the beneficiaries of Scholarships supported by philanthropic giving. Our program of Scholarships continues to grow, and we are delighted to share some examples of incredible impact.

Pembroke Community Scholarship This Scholarship is available to families who aspire to an outstanding education for their children but are unable to access an independent school education due to financial hardship, social disadvantage or adverse personal circumstances. We are delighted to report that two students are currently receiving full support through the Scholarship. The founders established the Scholarship with the vision that others would join them in creating opportunities for deserving young people, and that vision continues to be realised through the support of the Pembroke community. Since its establishment in 2018, the Pembroke Community Scholarship has provided life-changing educational opportunities to six students, with community support for the initiative continuing to grow each year.

Indulkaninna Foundation Scholarship This Scholarship offers remission on Pembroke Boarding fees and is available to students facing exceptional circumstances, whose principal residence is in a rural area of South Australia or interstate. The Scholarship is generously supported by a Pembroke family. The first recipient graduated in 2025 and is hoping to pursue a career in nursing. In 2025, The Indulkaninna Foundation committed to an additional Scholarship for Boarding and Sport. This will support a student from a rural location with an aptitude for one or more dedicated sports.

It still astounds me to think of the immense growth that this School has caused in me – academic and personal, and it would be very difficult to over-credit Pembroke for the development of these aspects. Since day one, the infectious curiosity of other students and the outward passion of staff members have made it obvious to me that Pembroke’s culture is one of realising potential. I must thank all who donated towards the Pembroke Community Scholarship, as without it, I would never have been part of Pembroke’s fantastic community. I’m still ecstatic to have received this opportunity. – Adam (2020) The inaugural recipient of the Pembroke Community Scholarship

Pembroke Scholarship for the Love of Learning in the IB This Scholarship is available to students wishing to study the International Baccalaureate Diploma who would otherwise be unable to access a Pembroke education. This is an extraordinary gift from a family with a passion for the IB Diploma. Since the Scholarship’s establishment in 2021, one student has graduated and is now completing a Bachelor of Health and Medical Sciences, while the current recipient is thriving at Pembroke and will complete their studies in 2026.

Margaret Sellars’ Scholarship Established by inaugural Foundation Patron Mrs Margaret (née Sellars) Bennett, this Scholarship supports students from rural primary producing communities who may not otherwise consider attending Pembroke.

With the help of this Scholarship I was able to leave my small rural school, where I was in a class of three people, and did not have the range of subjects I wanted to pursue. I have loved my time at Pembroke. I had peers and teachers who motivated me and assisted me to not only achieve the best results I possibly could but opened my mind to new ideas and opportunities. I made some wonderful friendships both in the Boarding House and day school. I am sure many of these will be lifelong and will provide me with wonderful support as I continue my tertiary education in Adelaide. I am so grateful to for the Scholarship and to Pembroke School. – Amelia (2025) Recipient of the Margaret Sellars’ Scholarship

Each year, a number of awards and prizes are made possible through the generosity of the Pembroke community and are presented to deserving recipients.

The 2025 Long Lunch f 16

Pembroke Parents’ and Friends’ Association We greatly appreciate the Pembroke Parents’ and Friends’ Association for their extraordinary commitment to our School community and unwavering support of Pembroke through fundraising and service.

In 2025, the P&F Committee, led by President Carly Oliver, delivered a series of highly successful fundraising events, generating almost $110,000 for the new Junior School Playground. Highlights included fundraising activities at the fabulous Mother’s Day Lunch at Adelaide Oval and the much-loved Long Lunch at the National Wine Centre. By the end of the year, the community celebrated the commencement of construction of the new Junior School Playground, transforming the area into a vibrant new space where Pembroke students will learn, play and thrive for years to come. To every member of the Parents’ and Friends’ Association, and to the many volunteers, sponsors and supporters who gave so generously of their time, energy and resources, thank you. Your commitment enriches the life of our School and strengthens the sense of community that makes Pembroke such a special place.

Legacy Giving

In 2025, we were delighted to celebrate those members of our community who have advised us of their intention to include Pembroke in their Will, at a special luncheon held in their honour. Those who share their intentions with us are welcomed as members of the Claridge Harris Club, ensuring their foresight and generosity are recognised and celebrated during their lifetime. The Claridge Harris Club was established to honour the extraordinary contributions of Dorothy Ward (née Claridge) and her family to Girton Girls’ School, and Don Harris to King’s College. The Club celebrates the rich heritage of our two founding schools by recognising those whose planned gifts will help shape Pembroke’s future. A gift in a Will is a deeply meaningful expression of generosity and belief in the enduring value of education. While it requires no change to one’s circumstances today, it creates opportunities that will benefit generations of Pembroke students for years to come. Bequests have played a significant role in the growth and development of Pembroke throughout our history, helping to strengthen the School and expand opportunities for students. We are sincerely grateful to the thoughtful individuals who have chosen to leave a lasting legacy, ensuring future generations of young people can experience the same exceptional education that has shaped so many lives. If you would like to discuss how your legacy can make a lasting difference to future generations of Pembroke students, please contact the Development Office via development@pembroke.sa.edu.au for a confidential conversation.

Giving Day for Indigenous Education at Pembroke Pembroke has a proud history of educating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, with enrolments dating back to the 1960s.

The Indigenous Education at Pembroke program (IE@P) was formally established in 2007 through the generosity of Girton old scholar, Mrs Margaret Bennett (1939), and continues to grow through community support. In partnership with The Smith Family, Pembroke offers the Indigenous Youth Leadership Program (IYLP), which provides partial Scholarships for First Nations students. The School relies on donor support to help bridge the remaining fee gap which is typically around $14,000 per student per year. To help support and sustain the program, Pembroke hosted a Giving Day, Sharing the Path, to raise funds for IE@P. The goal was to raise $180,000. Giving Day united the entire Pembroke community. A coordinated communications campaign was complemented by a range of fundraising activities across the Junior, Middle and Senior Schools, including a Junior School Indigenous-inspired art exhibition and sale, and a student-led barbecue. The strength of community engagement was reflected in the outstanding result, with the initiative raising more than $222,000. Students, staff, past parents, old scholars and families all contributed, demonstrating a shared commitment to creating greater educational opportunity. We are delighted to report that these funds are already making a meaningful difference, helping to support five Indigenous students (in 2025) and easing the significant financial barriers that many families face in accessing a Pembroke education.

Play it Forward – For the New Junior School Playground The vision for the new Junior School Playground was clear from the outset: to create an innovative, inclusive and inspiring space for our youngest learners.

It would become a lasting legacy of joy for current and future generations of Pembroke students.

• A welcoming place for community connection and gathering

Through the Play it Forward campaign, the Pembroke community came together to help bring this exciting vision to life. Families were invited to become part of the Playground’s story through the Buy a Brick initiative, with personalised engraved bricks to form a beautiful, paved area within the new Playground. We were delighted that 170 families embraced this opportunity, creating a lasting tribute to their connection with the School.

• A lasting space that families can take pride in and future generations will cherish

In addition, a number of significant Playground features were made available for sponsorship, and we were thrilled that every opportunity was enthusiastically supported.

• An adventurous environment that encourages physical activity, exploration and imagination

By the end of the year, anticipation was growing as construction gathered momentum, with the Playground on track to welcome students at the beginning of Term 1 2026.

The new playground was envisioned as:

• An inclusive space where every child can participate and belong • A place where learning and play come together

To every family, donor and supporter who contributed to this remarkable project, thank you. Your generosity has created a place where children will learn, play, discover, build friendships and create cherished memories for generations to come.

Guests enjoying the annual Volunt 24

Volunteering – The Gift of Time During National Volunteer Week, we were delighted to host a special celebration to acknowledge and thank the dozens of volunteers whose contributions enrich school life in many ways. Representatives from across the School attended, reflecting the breadth of volunteer involvement at Pembroke.

This included those who contribute to our Archives, Parents’ and Friends’ Association, Pembroke Old Scholars Association, School and Foundation Boards, and the many committees and working groups that help guide and strengthen our community. We also recognised our Careers Breakfast mentors, Chinese language volunteers, members of the Drama and Film Forum, Pembroke Friends of Music, Year Level Representatives, Scout leaders, sports volunteers and those supporting our Robotics Program. Speaking at the event, Principal Mark Staker expressed the School’s gratitude: “On behalf of everyone at Pembroke, thank you for your time, your enthusiasm and your support. Your contribution does not go unnoticed, and it is deeply appreciated.” The collective impact of our volunteers extends far beyond the hours they contribute. Their generosity creates opportunities, strengthens relationships, enriches student experiences and helps build the strong and connected community that defines Pembroke. We are sincerely grateful to every volunteer.

Volunteer Profile – Rev Jim Keatch

What motivates you to volunteer your time?

What is your connection to Pembroke?

There are probably a number of reasons: something to do in my later years; the opportunity to get out and about; maintaining a connection to an organisation that was very important to me; using my skills while I still can!

My connection to Pembroke is twofold. Three of my children attended Pembroke, one through Years 1-12 and the other two from Years 10-12. The second part of the connection is that I was the Chaplain from 1996 through to 2014. When you put nearly 2,000 people together in such a setting as a school, the law of averages says things are going to happen. And they certainly did – times of celebration, achievement, great relationships, wonderful students and dedicated staff, and times of great loss and grief. It’s a great school was then and is now.

There is, however, one major reason: Over the years of Girton, King’s and Pembroke, there have been many people, who, through their decisions, actions, teaching, guidance, care, motivation and wanting the best for everyone who has passed through Girton and King’s and now passes through the doors of Pembroke, have built a legacy upon which the School now stands.

Please tell us about your volunteering experience at Pembroke?

My favourite definition of a legacy is, ‘planting trees under whose shade one does not expect to sit’.

I became involved in Archives when I was asked to create a history of the RA Cook Chapel. I think that was eight years ago. After that was finished, Peta Harries invited me to stay on, and the rest, as they say, is history! I work in 51 Park Road every Tuesday, during the term, with four other volunteers and Peta. It is always a surprise as to what I get to research. There is no aspect of Pembroke life that Archives does not have an interest in and a connection with! I think also my life at Pembroke involved me in all three Sub-Schools and that gave me a wider perspective to help with my archive researching. The great thing is even after my years immersed in the School and my volunteering up until now is – I’m still learning stuff!

For me, one of the great things that Archives has is the wherewithal to discover those trees, their strength and shade, and bring them from the distant past into the present and in so doing offer the community the opportunity to carry those legacies into its own future. If you were talking to someone else about volunteering at Pembroke, what would you tell them? Do it! Who knows what little surprises will come along, what treasures you will discover. You will learn things about the three schools you had no idea about. I would also tell them there is a personal reward in researching material to assist a student in their studies or a teacher in their preparation. And the morning teas are great!
