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.
