PHILANTHROPY AT ST ANDREW’S

We are immensely grateful for every single alum, parent, and friend of St Andrew’s College who generously contributed over $900,000 last year.

THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE ACHIEVEMENT, and we would like to extend our thanks to the record number of individuals, couples, and families who have been so generous in making this possible. Because of your kindness, more students will be able to experience the Andrew’s way of life in 2023.

In 2022, we celebrated the 20 year anniversary of undergraduate women at College. As part of this, we sought to raise funds to endow a new means-tested scholarship that would support young women to attend College for years to come. You can read a full report about our progress with this and the celebrations that took place on page 12.

Several significant gifts have also been made by individuals and families this past year, including from Dr Denis Gordon OAM (Fr 1954) and his wife, Robin Gordon OAM, which has helped to kick-start our Main Building Bedroom Refurbishment Project.

The White Family, Yim Family Foundation, Halliday Family Foundation, Martin and Margot Rathbone, Hugh and Hilary Cairns, and David Anstice AO have also demonstrated incredible commitment to supporting our scholarship program by establishing new scholarships or renewing existing ones in 2022. You can read about the new Cairns Indigenous Scholarship and the James P G Foundation Scholarship and the students they support on page 6 and 22.

Many parents also made voluntary building fund donations throughout the year, allowing us to continue with ongoing building maintenance across the campus. A number of alumni also donated items of value to the College such as artworks, pianos, archival materials and furniture. You can read about some of these gifts on page 32.

Throughout the year, we had the privilege of recognising and celebrating the kindness and generosity of our supporters at a variety of events such as The Highlander Club Evening,

Founders & Benefactors Dinner, and the 1867 Circle Lunch. In 2023, we plan to continue these events and make a greater effort to connect with our supporters no matter where they live.

We extend our gratitude to the Foundation Directors, including Andrew Murray AM, Russell Bye, Randall Powell, Bob Stitt, Mitchell Taylor, and retired Directors Grace Petre, and Amanda Mostyn, for their exceptional stewardship of the Foundation and its donors in 2022. We welcome anyone in our community who wishes to join the Foundation and Board of Management to get in touch, as we appreciate your input and assistance.

We would also like to thank Hannah Atwell, Director of Advancement, and her team, for their tireless efforts to expand and make a meaningful impact via our Alumni & Community Engagement and Philanthropy programs.

Furthermore, we are thrilled to work alongside our new Principal, Rob Leach, who assumed the role in early 2023 following the remarkable leadership and philanthropy of Wayne Erickson. Rob shares our commitment to making a difference and passion for giving students a world class college experience.

We have many opportunities to work together and create a significant impact for our present and future students. We invite you to join us on this journey to enable access to Andrew’s. Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to updating you throughout the year on our plans to strengthen the College for the future.

ENABLING ACCESS TO ST ANDREW’S

In 2022, the St Andrew’s College community demonstrated an impressive level of generosity and support. Together, we have raised $903,600 in new gifts and pledges. In 2023, we have achieved our campaign goal of raising $7M!

SCHOLARSHIPS AND BURSARIES were the key focus for our community in 2022 and the College received $698,000 in combined gifts towards scholarships this year, including $135,000 for the new 20 Years of Undergraduate Women Scholarship and $21,865 for the Wayne Erickson Scholarship which will provide support to students from Government Schools. Both will have a long-term impact and support students for years to come. An additional $306,000 was also pledged for future scholarship funds. Furthermore, we established six new scholarships this year, providing more opportunities for students to pursue their studies and achieve their goals. Currently, 50 students are supported through donor-funded scholarships, and we are proud to say that our Annual Giving Appeal in 2022 raised $101,425 for means-tested scholarships specifically for Indigenous students, students from rural and regional areas, and Government school backgrounds. We are grateful to our community for

your support in enabling us to give more students the St Andrew’s College experience in 2023.

In addition to our scholarship efforts, the College received $136,000 in pledges and new gifts towards the new Thyne Reid Link Building and other capital works projects. An additional $31,250 was gifted towards the College’s Academic Programs Fund, allowing us to explore the further development of our educational programs and offerings. Our community’s dedication to giving was demonstrated via the record number of people who made one or more gifts in 2022. Of the 186 total donors, these included 109 alumni, 24 parents, 10 alumni and parent couples, and 43 past parents, foundations, or friends of the College, who together made a total of 251 donations throughout the year.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to our community for their continued generosity and support. It is

because of you that we can continue to provide a transformative educational experience for our students. We look forward to keeping you updated on our fundraising efforts and the impact your support is having on our community. We also appreciate the generous support of those in our community who gave their time, volunteering on committees, participating in various Professional Development Programs, or serving as a Reunion Captain for the SACAS Annual Dinner & Golf Day events this past year. It would not be possible to run the range of events, activities, and programs without your unwavering support and participation.

Finally, we thank the Council, the Foundation Board of Management, the 1867 Circle Committee, the Alumni Society Committee and the Young Alumni Committee for their valuable advice and support throughout 2022. We could not do what we do without all of you.

THE CAIRNS INDIGENOUS SCHOLARSHIP

Hugh and Hilary Cairns arrived at St Andrew’s College from Scotland in 1975 for Hugh to take up the role of Principal. Hugh had been brought up in England and moved to Scotland in his 20s. He became a brilliant sportsman representing his schools in rugby, soccer, cricket, fives and hockey and captaining most of the top sides.

Hugh and Hilary Cairns (centre) with L-R: Director of Advancement, Hannah Atwell, Chairman of the Foundation, Niall Ciarns and former Principal Wayne Erickson, shortly after signing their scholarship gift agreement.

HUGH WAS HEAD OF SCHOOL at both the Dragon School in Oxford and Charterhouse. He also captained Oxford University and Scotland in hockey. Hugh worked in a parish and schools in Scotland before coming to Australia to become the Principal at St Andrew’s College.

Hugh had originally heard about the College from Professor John McIntyre and Andrew’s alumnus Angus Holland. Later, when he saw an advertisement in a magazine, ‘all the bells in my head started to ring’ and he applied.

When Hugh and Hilary arrived at College, things were a little different compared to now. Women were not exactly welcome in the Main Building, but as time went on Hilary would attend more and more events and Hugh appointed a number of female tutors to join the College.

Some of Hugh’s favourite memories of his time as Principal involved afternoons playing cricket on the College Oval when he would go out to bat against the students (he was playing for the Senior Common Room team). Hilary has fond memories of hosting lunches for the valedicting students in their house, and has never forgotten the time she served them a ‘summer pudding’ which became known as a dessert haggis and in turn, ‘Hilary’s Haggis’.

Hugh and Hilary have been strong supporters of the College since their arrival all those years ago and over time have become members of the Highlander Club, 1867 Circle and Ambassadors of the St Andrew’s College Foundation. In 2021, Hugh and Hilary established the Cairns Indigenous Scholarship to support young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who want to come to College and university in Sydney.

Hugh’s interest in Aboriginal Australians and their culture was sparked by a lecture in Oxford when he was about six years old; and Standing Stones, ancient Neolithic Tombs and studies in the Classics kept it alive. In 1975, Hugh began studying early astronomies after visiting the renowned sacred Aboriginal sites in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park and learning of the Ancient Astronomers.

Hugh’s exploration of Aboriginal culture took him to Wardaman Country in the Northern Territory in 1979. During a subsequent trip to the area in 1997, he met Wardaman Senior Elder Bill Yidumduma Harney. This meeting came about when Hugh drove his colleague, Julie Drew, to work on Bill’s cattle station, known as ‘Menngen,’ to assist her in gathering material for her Master’s Thesis. It was during this time that a strong friendship began to form between Hugh and Bill. According to Bill, Hugh

was the first white man to ask him anything about the stars. Bill explained how the movement of the stars and planets across the sky orders the Wardaman people’s year. The stars dictate the timing of their ceremonies; they know when to move to the next food source by the stars. They did not need a watch when he was on watch as a stockman, as the stars tell the time too.

Hugh has since written two books with Bill - Dark Sparklers and Four Circles. Dark Sparklers is considered the first integrated indigenous Astronomy published anywhere in the world and presents the intellectual world of the Wardaman People. Four Circles is a book about the Wardaman People’s Customary Law and describes how the Wardman People lived: their way of life, customs, ceremonies, education, marriage laws, discipline and punishment of wrongdoers, which is educational, determined to bring them back to be a valuable member of society.

Hugh and Hilary have also always been heavily involved and interested in education. Thus, they understand how difficult it can be to access, especially if it is far from home, as Sydney is for many people living in other parts of Australia. They considered the impact they could make by giving someone from a rural or remote community access to education when creating their scholarship, and sought to specifically help young indigenous people realise their academic goals. As Hugh put it:

“If a young person can go to St Andrew’s, they will have the opportunity to move into the modern world, be introduced to different ways of thinking, and broaden their horizons. The College is also a good environment for this and provides a good support framework for young people to find their way in the world.”

THE CAIRNS INDIGENOUS SCHOLARSHIP: DESTINY BATMAN-PERIS

Destiny Batman-Peris is the 2022 and 2023 recipient of the Cairns Indigenous Scholarship. Destiny is currently completing her third year of a Nursing Degree at the University of Notre Dame, as well as competing in both intercollegiate and national level hockey. Destiny shared with us her College and university experience so far and her plans for the future.

Can you tell us a little about where you have moved from?

I am proud to be Bunitj from West Arnhem Land, and Gidja and Yawuru from the East and West Kimberley, respectfully. However, I grew up on Larrakia Country (Darwin), and call that home. As much as I miss it, being in Sydney offers the best opportunities for my studies and sport.

How are your studies going so far?

Next year will be the final year of my degree. This year, I’m doing my Bachelor of Nursing part-time so I can also complete a Certificate III in Mentoring Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples, via TAFE’s Eora Centre. I am passionate about health promotion and preventative health, especially in Aboriginal communities. I also currently work as a mentor to Aboriginal High School students. This aligns well with my future goals in the field of nursing I aim to go into.

Can you share some of your academic highlights?

There is a handful of St Andrew’s students doing the Bachelor of Nursing at Notre Dame which is great, particularly during exam blocks where we can study together and support each other. One of the classes I am doing this Semester is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples Health, which will be invaluable for my career as a nurse. The lecturer is a proud Bundjalung woman and I love learning from her. Emotionally, it is really beneficial for me to be surrounded by Mob – it makes it easier to be away from home. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students across all of the University of Sydney’s residential colleges have been networking and building a strong community here, which is positive for all of us.

How has 2022 been for you? What did you participate in at College, and what were the highs and lows?

2022 was a year of both success and challenge. I represented St Andrew’s in Rosebowl Hockey and Athletics and was selected for my first Australian squad: the Australian Junior (U21) Indoor Hockey Squad. Three students from St Andrew’s College were selected for this squad of 30 from all around the nation. I competed in the U21 Australian Hockey Championships in Perth, representing the combined NT/SA team. A highlight was also competing at the UniSport Indigenous Nationals in Brisbane. My University couldn’t field a team so I competed for Charles Darwin University with cousins and family friends

I grew up with. Although I achieved a lot in my sports I battled injuries for much of the year. The flow-on effect of this, however, was that I could discover who I am beyond sport and explore my particular passions in nursing and make plans to pursue these.

What are your hopes and plans for 2023, and the future?

I have a strong connection to my Country in West Arnhem Land - I go out there often during Dry Season. However, I would like to develop a stronger connection to my Country in the Kimberley and intend to do one of my nursing placements in Broome. I lived there when I was younger - it is my greatgrandfather’s Country - and Notre Dame has a campus there. This experience would be invaluable for me culturally as well as professionally, as the healthcare demographics in Broome are similar to that of Darwin and will better prepare me for the post-graduate work I plan to do in the Top End.

With recent injuries behind me, I am very keen to resume intercollegiate hockey later this Semester. We always have such a great group of girls and I value the connections I make or strengthen each year during the inter-col hockey campaign. The last game always falls during National Reconciliation Week or the Indigenous Round, and I am designing the artwork for the socks we will wear for that game.

How do you think the Scholarship Program contributes to the life and community of the College?

I really believe the Scholarship Program at St Andrew’s encourages diversity, as students from different places, socioeconomic statuses, and ethnicities come together and bond. We learn from each other and it encourages us to develop curiosity, sensitivity, and sociocultural awareness. Do you have any comments that you would like to personally direct to your benefactors?

I wouldn’t be able to study here on Gadigal Country without scholarship support. I am achieving high distinctions in my studies and love being able to play quality hockey. Relocation, travel, registration, equipment and uniforms are expensive, which makes the generosity of the Cairns’ invaluable to me being able to achieve my goals. I am incredibly grateful to be at St Andrew’s and have the wealth of opportunities that come with being a resident here.

1867 CIRCLE

Thank you to all of our 1867 Circle members for your ongoing support. We look forward to welcoming you to the annual 1867 Circle Lunch later in 2023.

THE 1867 CIRCLE (previously the Dick Spann Circle) was established to celebrate and acknowledge those alumni, parents and friends of the College who bequeath a part of their estate to further the aims and objectives of the College in our development of present and future students.

Our 1867 Circle Members are invited to special events throughout the year, including the 1867 Circle Lunch (pictured); an exclusive annual event where attendees hear from guest speakers, receive updates on the College’s accomplishments and future plans, and entertained with musical performances from some of our talented students. It is a wonderful way to stay in touch with the College whilst also connecting with like-minded St Andrew’s alumni and friends.

Those who leave a bequest to the College are automatically eligible to join the 1867 Circle in recognition of your support. We value your commitment to St Andrew’s College, and want the opportunity to thank you in person for being a part of our future.

Many of our significant gifts have come from legacies, and a bequest can help support many areas of St Andrew’s College. Gifts have enabled the College to achieve outstanding success in the past, and will continue to create incredible opportunities in the future.

2022 Annual Lunch

ON MONDAY 28 NOVEMBER, we had the honour of hosting the 1867 Circle Lunch to recognise and show appreciation for the members of our community who have generously expressed their intention to leave a bequest to St Andrew’s College.

This past year’s event was a great success, attended by esteemed guests such as 1867 Circle Members, Council and Foundation Board Members, Staff, and student guests. The event was held in the recently renamed Erickson Room, formerly known as the Reading Room, and guests sat down to a delectable three-course lunch while enjoying a breathtaking musical performance by Cassidy Watts (Fr 2019), one of our many talented student musicians.

The afternoon’s program also featured an engaging Q&A session moderated by Sasha Kovic, Chair of Council, with Principal Wayne Erickson and Principal-Elect Dr Rob Leach, followed by a charming performance by the St Andrew’s College Boys Choir. The lunch was a welcome opportunity for many members to catch up, reminisce about their days as students, and connect with likeminded individuals.

Stay tuned for this year’s upcoming lunch date! Invitations will be sent out well in advance of the event, so please make sure to keep an eye out for them.

IMPACT OF GIVING

CELEBRATING 20YUGW AT ST ANDREW’S IN 2022

Last year we celebrated the milestone of 20 Years of Undergraduate Women with a range of events, activities, merchandise and philanthropic initiatives.

1.

CELEBRATIONS BEGAN WITH AN OFFICIAL launch event

on Saturday 26 March. Guests included Her Excellency, The Honourable Margaret Beazley AC QC, Governor of New South Wales; Professor Mark Scott AO, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Sydney; Chair of Foundation, Niall Cairns; previous Principals; previous Chairs of Council; alumni, students and staff.

The Principal, Wayne Erickson, paid tribute to the many women and men who played a vital role in making St Andrew’s College an equal opportunity institution. The Governor emphasised the importance of understanding the past to avoid making the same mistakes in the future and congratulated the College on making the move to co-residency and on the appointment of Sasha James (Kovic) as the first female Chair of Council. The Vice Chancellor of the University of Sydney, Professor Mark Scott reflected on the nature of change and celebrated the occasion.

As part of the Launch, fresher Anna Hunt (Fr 2022) was presented with the inaugural 20 Years of Undergraduate Women Scholarship award. Anna, a talented soccer player, comes from rural and regional Australia and is studying nursing at the University of Sydney. We caught up with Anna towards the end of 2022 to talk about how her year has been and how the scholarship has helped her so far. You can read our interview with her on the following pages.

To mark the milestone, the College created a range of commemorative merchandise, from which 100% the proceeds would go towards endowing the new means-tested

scholarship for undergraduate women. The College aims to raise enough to endow this new scholarship fund in perpetuity to support young women with financial need to attend the College for years to come. With an initial goal of $250,000, we are delighted that over $135,000 has been gifted, purchased and pledged to date thanks to more than 160 members of our community. The College will continue to raise funds for this scholarship in the future and invites the community to show their support by making a gift online via the website or by contacting the Advancement Team at the College.

In reflecting on the past twenty years, the College caught up with twenty Andrew’s alumnae who are doing great things in their own communities and industries. From musicians to teachers to lawyers and doctors, the range of young women we spoke to are inspiring and were generous with sharing their experiences and advice. The interviews are still available to read on the College’s website.

The College continued the celebrations throughout the semester, hosting events such as the Rosebowl Soccer Finals in August and the 20YUGW Mentoring & Leadership Dinner in September. To close out the celebrations, all students, parents, alumni and friends were invited to a Coffee Concert & Garden party in October which showcased the talents of our musicians and gave the community an opportunity to gather at the end of the year.

To see what has been accomplished in the last two decades is nothing short of astounding. And it all seems to have happened so seamlessly, although I’m sure there were obstacles along the way.

THE 20YUGW SCHOLARSHIP: ANNA HUNT

Anna Hunt grew up on a property in Grenfell, located in Central West New South Wales. In 2022 she relocated to Sydney to pursue a Bachelor of Nursing at the University of Sydney. Anna is honoured to be the first-ever recipient of the St Andrew’s 20 Years of Undergraduate Women Scholarship and shared how she found her first year at College.

How has 2022 been for you? What did you participate in at College, and what were the highs and lows?

I have thoroughly enjoyed my 2022 College experience, particularly in the second semester where I’ve developed a better understanding of the demands of my course and effective studying. I am also involved in both the Rosebowl soccer and athletics teams and have found a great support network among the people at Sydney University Soccer Football Club (SUSFC). As the season progressed I became more comfortable and confident within myself and the team, which was rewarded with a championship win at the end of the season.

The beginning of the year, however, was a challenge with my transition from home to Sydney. It also started with me having COVID and an injury, which was difficult. Since then, I have made a conscious effort to involve myself in a range of College activities, including volunteer work, supporting Palladian events and joining the Sub-Committee for the Mother’s Day event.

One of my greatest highlights of this year has been meeting and creating friendships with other students, who are all exceptional in their areas of interest. I am grateful to be surrounded by so many like-minded and incredible individuals.

What are your hopes and plans for 2023, and the future?

I hope to continue achieving well in my academic studies and building on the friendships created this year. With greater confidence leading into next year, I aim to involve myself wholeheartedly in College activities to promote a positive culture and environment for the upcoming freshers. My goal is to continue playing for the SUSFC Senior Squad with the support provided by the University of Sydney’s Elite Athlete Program and St Andrew’s and hopefully carry the success of last season into next year.

Do you have any comments that you would like to add?

I am incredibly grateful for the financial assistance that my scholarship has provided me with, enabling me to attend St Andrew’s and have a truly enriching College experience. I would like to personally thank the generous benefactors who made this possible. Their support means I can attend university and have the best opportunity to pursue my sporting endeavours, where I can focus on honing my skills and improving my performance.

JAMES PG FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP

James Patterson Gardner was due to arrive at St Andrew’s College in 2015 as a fresher, joining family friends from New Zealand who were already at the College to begin his university journey. He was planning to study engineering at the University of Sydney, and major in aeronautical engineering.

TRAGICALLY, JAMES PASSED AWAY in a helicopter crash near Queenstown the day before leaving for Sydney alongside experienced instructor pilot Stephen Combes. No one knows for sure why their Robinson helicopter broke up in flight, and, like many others, a Transport Accident Investigation Commission report concluded if the chopper were fitted with a cockpit audio-visual device, it would have been able to provide answers.

After this devastating crash and the loss of her son, James’ mother (experienced pilot and business owner) Louisa ‘Choppy’ Patterson and her team invented and developed ‘Eye in the Sky’.

The ‘Eye in the Sky’ is an affordable, lightweight data recording device that is fitted inside the cockpit and captures 160-degree, high-definition, wide-angle video and audio; GPS data, and information on speed, altitude and position; pitch, roll and yaw, as well as the nuances of what’s happening in the cockpit. Sale proceeds from the ‘Eye in the Sky’ go to the James PG Foundation.

The James PG Foundation is a registered charitable trust established in memory of James Patterson Gardner to provide opportunities for the youth of New Zealand to reach their full potential. The Trustees of the Foundation are James’ cousin, stepbrother, friend, and lawyer.

One of the objectives of the Foundation is to create opportunities and open doors that may not be normally accessible, to find placement for enterprising young adults from the aviation industry into opportunities that will provide further education, career development and enhance aviation safety.

The Foundation established The James PG Foundation Scholarship at St Andrew’s College in James’ memory to support other young New Zealanders to study engineering and realise their potential. There is a preference for the student to be studying engineering at the University of Sydney, specifically Aeronautical Engineering.

We asked Louisa to share in her own words how the scholarship came to be:

Louisa, can you tell us a bit about yourself and how you came to be connected with St Andrew’s College?

James had attended St Andrew’s College in Christchurch for his high school years. His great grandfather was a first World War Otago Mounted rifleman, a doctor and a clergyman. After Gallipoli, he spread the word of God by horseback through the outback of Australia before settling down as a Presbyterian Clergyman in the South Island of New Zealand.

Our family are connected with St Andrew’s through our protestant values and the love of St Andrew’s in New Zealand.

Can you tell us in your own words how this scholarship came about at St Andrew’s College in Sydney?

James’s friend Ed Davies is a trustee of the James PG Foundation. Ed passed on his love of St Andrew’s College to James, who was so excited about attending.

The scholarship came about as a result of the kindness of Wayne Erickson and

his staff following the tragic loss of James, and their support in the mandate of the James PG Foundation in finding a high school graduate from New Zealand to take up studies at the University of Sydney (engineering aeronautical) with a residential placement at St Andrew’s as James had intended to do.

Can you share more about James and who he was?

James is often described as someone who had the X factor, someone that had that special magic. Intelligent and hardworking, empathetic, charismatic and humble. He made the most of any opportunities and had been lucky enough to travel the world. He learned from these experiences how to model his life with education and kindness to make a difference.

The James PG Foundation will encourage others and ensure this spirit lives on.

What is the purpose behind the scholarship, and what impact do you hope it will have for the students it supports?

The James PG Foundation will encourage and support New Zealand

youth between the age of 17 and 26 to reach their full potential.

James’ life was full of opportunities that he took advantage of, our Foundation’s purpose is to continue his legacy, opening doors by assisting youth and giving them the tools to approach their life with that same dignity and drive.

What would you say to encourage someone to support the scholarships program at St Andrew’s College?

Today’s Students, Tomorrow’s Leaders. Scholarships provide not only a meaningful source of financial support but also encouragement for the academic and personal growth of talented individuals that would not otherwise be afforded.

St Andrew’s is a lively university college community with a deep commitment to academic and intellectual excellence and the development of the individual.

James’ life was full of opportunities that he took advantage of. Our Foundation’s purpose is to continue his legacy.

IMPACT OF GIVING

JAMES PG FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP: SOPHIA WOOD

When Sophia made the move from New Zealand to Sydney in 2022, it was the first time she had travelled overseas since age 11. It was her curiosity about the nature of how things work that inspired her goal of becoming an engineer. She excelled in her studies at St Cuthbert’s College, Auckland, and was accepted to the University of Sydney where she is undertaking a Bachelor of Aeronautical Engineering.

RESIDENT and the recipient of the James P G Foundation Scholarship, Sophia has endeavoured to embrace everything on offer here at College in her first year, and shared with us her Drew’s experience so far. Reflecting on 2022, can you share some of the highlights and challenges you’ve experienced? What have you participated in throughout the year?

Attending St Andrew’s College has been an amazing experience throughout 2022, where there is never a dull moment and help is never far away. Moving away from home was incredibly challenging for me, but having a place that I can call home, with friends who I now consider family, has been the best support I could ask for.

St Andrew’s has so many events and activities that support new connections and friendships, but I think that my favourite aspect of College is the everyday connections I have with others. Whether that be a quick chat in the hallway, a study session, or staying up late watching movies with my friends, there is always a shoulder to lean on and a person to talk to. I often get homesick, and with my busy schedule I can feel overwhelmed, so having this support system around me is amazing and I know that everyone is in the same boat as I am.

I enjoy taking part in the Jazz Band here at College. It is fun and engaging, a great outlet to escape my busy study schedule, jam out and enjoy music. I got to go to my first formal - due to COVID both my school balls were cancelled - so having a formal at university was a great first experience.

I have loved studying aeronautics at university and even though it’s like being thrown straight into the deep end, it’s also incredibly rewarding. My favourite activity this semester was taking part in building a real aircraft during class. It’s incredible that even in this first year I got to have hands-on experience with aircraft building on a large scale. I loved working in the lab, getting my hands dirty, and seeing our work come to life. Learning this way instead of only writing papers or completing equations makes this degree so much more rewarding. It makes me very happy with my decision to attend USYD as I don’t think I would have had the same opportunities if I had stayed in New Zealand.

What aspirations do you have for 2023 and beyond?

The first year at College was definitely a steep learning curve, so going into 2023 with solid roots at St Andrew’s is reassuring, and exciting. Entering my second year at university will feel somewhat daunting, as I know the workload will only increase and become more challenging, but of course, more rewarding.

Next year I hope to apply for Jazz Band secretary. I want to be able to foster the same fun culture that I experienced during my first year in the band. I am excited to join committees and take part in planning the events I have enjoyed so much during my first year here at St Andrew’s.

I am also looking forward to the new year of learning and experiences within my degree. The first year was fundamentals, taking mostly maths and general physics units. Second year will be more specific and I will get to learn more about the work I want to do in the future. I also hope to strengthen my connections with my peers, through both coursework and other university activities.

How do you think the scholarship program contributes to the life and community of the College?

The scholarship program provides so many students with an amazing opportunity to create a new home and find community. Giving opportunities to students from a range of backgrounds creates a community filled with different stories and experiences. Increasing the diversity of students at College makes it a more interesting and welcoming place for new students. Initially, I was nervous moving into College as I was worried that I would stick out, or feel disadvantaged within my cohort. Just knowing that so many other students are in my position is validating and makes everyone feel included.

Learning from and living with people from a range of different backgrounds is important as it allows personal growth for every student attending St Andrew’s. Another important factor is that everyone here wants to be here. Students work hard to maintain good grades and take part in sports and art competitions, which creates a healthy working environment where each student is pushed to do their best.

THE HIGHLANDER CLUB

Established in 2019, the Club recognises recent significant contributions to St Andrew’s College and its Foundation as part of the Accessing Andrew’s Campaign.

2022 Highlander Club Evening

In May 2022, we welcomed some of our biggest supporters –our Highlanders – back to the College for the second Annual Highlander Club Evening. This year the event took shape as a premium wine and cheese night in the setting of our beautiful Main Library. Taylors’ Wines were served and our own Catering Team served up an incredible grazing table.

The College’s boys’ choir, the Blue Birds, performed a short set that showcased their exceptional talent, and the Principal, Chair of Council and Chairman of the Foundation thanked the Highlanders for their generosity and support of the College and most importantly, its students. It was a wonderful evening of conversation and connection and we look forward to the next one!

The Purpose of The Highlander Club

• Recognise and acknowledge those who are active and passionate supporters of the College and College Foundation

• Be engaged with the College alongside other likeminded people

• Encourage members of our community to make a significant gift to a cause they support over time and help Enable Access to Andrew’s

• Encourage and support a wider culture of philanthropy in our community

• Increase the total philanthropic funds available to the College and its students to allow increased access to scholarships, facilities and programs

Our long term goal is to welcome 1,000 Highlanders to secure the College for our future students.

Becoming a Highlander

All alumni, parents and friends of St Andrew’s College are eligible to become members of the Highlander Club by pledging a new minimum gift of $25,000 towards the current Campaign which aims to enable access to Andrew’s by raising money for much needed bedrooms and scholarships. If you have made a gift of $25,000 or more since 2015, you will automatically qualify as a member.

A gift of this size can fund a partial scholarship for a student for three years, or half a new bedroom in the Thyne Reid Link Development or Main Building. Your gift can be made over a number of years e.g. 5 x $5,000. You can also choose which area you wish to support e.g. a Scholarship Fund, the Thyne Reid Link Development, the Academic Programs Fund or all three.

Thanking Highlanders

We would like to acknowledge and thank all our Highlanders for their significant contributions towards the College and its students. Highlanders receive a pair of custom made cashmere scarves in the College’s registered tartan and invitations to exclusive Highlander Club events.

SPECIAL OBJECTS & ITEMS GIFTED TO ST ANDREW’S

A strong culture of philanthropic giving has shaped St Andrew’s over time, and many valued donations take the form of special, unique items and objects that contribute to the fabric of College in tangible ways.

THESE GIFTS ARE items deemed of particular significance and are usually given to the College by alumni, former staff or families so that other Androvians may benefit from them for years to come.

You may be familiar with some of these items, such as the Victorian longcase grandfather clock that stands in the Senior Common Room. This stately timepiece was received in 1965 from the Estate of the Late Judge Alan S Lloyd, donated by Dr B Loyd.

The Steinway piano that sits in the Senior Common Room was donated by Andrew’s past parents Whitney Drayton and his wife Catherine in June 2014. Their two sons, Tyler (Fr 2009) and Henry

(Fr 2017), as well as Catherine’s brothers, James and Rob Mactier, also attended St Andrew’s.

The Thalberg piano was graciously donated to St Andrew’s College by Dr Philip Dudley Marchant (Fr 1943) in January 2020. The piano had originally been a wedding present to the Marchants in the late 1950s. The College’s Uebel & Lechleiter piano was a gift from Sandra Penicka in 2020. Both instruments sit in the Thyne Reid Link Building’s Music Rooms

The well-utilised Australian Cedar board table, also in the Senior Common Room, was kindly donated by Robert Stitt KC (Fr 1959). The 19th-century table originally furnished the Bank of NSW Boardroom.

The impressive libraries at St Andrew’s comprise numerous donations, the most significant of which is the collection of over 12,000 volumes bequeathed by the late Vice Principal, Professor Richard Spann.

Our most recent gift, a beautiful watercolour painting of the College by Australian artist Lin Litchfield, came from Margaret and Dr Ken Downs (Fr 1956) in 2022. The couple had the work commissioned in the early 1960s.

These treasured items found throughout the College bring our rich history to life and, few would disagree, contribute greatly to the unique and beautiful atmosphere of St Andrew’s.

INVESTMENT REPORT

In 2022, the Foundation raised $477,292 in donations and the Foundation’s endowment reached $12.07 million and earned investment income of $855,315.

The overall objective of the Foundation Board of Management is to work with the Investment Committee and Investment Manager to maintain the endowment in real terms overtime by aiming to provide annual returns of 4% above CPI over any 5-year period.

To achieve this aim, the target asset allocation of the Foundation is to have 70% of the funds in growth assets such as Australian and International equities with the remaining 30% in interest rate securities, term deposits and cash.

From January 2017, the asset allocation was lowered to 48/52 due to the need to keep $3 million in cash or near cash which is the amount earmarked for the College for the new building works which were due to commence at the end of 2017. Unfortunately, the commencement was delayed for one year due to the Sydney City Council not approving the Development Application in time for the planned commencement of the works. This meant the Foundation had to hold the $3 million cash for 2.5 years. This, of course, has been an unavoidable drag on the Fund performance. The Foundation has since paid $2.62 million as a loan to College to assist with the cost of the new development.

Despite this, the 5-year annualised performance figure to the end of December 2022 of 7.3%, bettered the 5-year target performance (4% + CPI) of 6.5% by 0.8% per annum. Recent rises in the CPI will make this target harder to achieve. All performance figures are net of fees incurred in managing the portfolio.

The Investment Strategy considers the statutory need for the Foundation, being a Public Ancillary Fund (PuAF), to distribute 4% of the assets of the Fund, valued at 1st January each year, to the College. Accordingly, in 2022, the Foundation made a payment of $469,204 to the College. These funds are being used to bolster the College’s scholarships and bursaries

program which totalled $2 million in CY22.

Due to the pandemic, over the 2020 year many companies, to shore up their balance sheets in uncertain times, reduced their dividends or paid no dividends at all. In 2021, Companies increased dividends and undertook several off-market buybacks which we took advantage of. This continued through CY22 with income totalling $834,744, an increase of approx $239,000 over CY21.

The Foundation Board thanks and acknowledges the special contribution of the Investment Committee (IC) comprising the Chairman, Niall Cairns, as well as Committee members Russell Bye, Nick Palethorpe, Richard Dougan, Craig Blair and Mitch Taylor. Much time, effort and expertise has been contributed by the Committee to ensure the funds are professionally managed and are fully compliant with all regulatory requirements. This includes an ongoing review and update of the Investment Strategy and Mandate for Investment of College and Foundation Funds to ensure it is up to date with the changing environment.

Our thanks also go to our appointed Investment Managers, Ord Minnett represented by Andrew Murray AM & Anthony Teasdale, who have worked closely and professionally with the Foundation Investment Committee to successfully achieve the investment aims of the Board.

Annualised Performance to 31 December 2022*

*The performance figures have been skewed due to the holding of $3 million in cash for 2.5 years which was earmarked for the College building development which is now completed. All performance figures are net of management fees.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Your support goes far beyond financial assistance or the provision of a bedroom at St Andrew’s; it has allowed me to immerse myself into the Drew’s community, challenge myself beyond what I once thought was possible, bring projects to life and give me room to grow as I am able to say yes to new experiences.
