FROM THE FOUNDATION

As we fast approach the end of the 2021 school year, I begin a new and exciting chapter in my career, as Foundation Manager at St Joseph’s Nudgee College.

I am honoured to have been accepted into such an inclusive, progressive and welcoming community. I have watched with wonderment as Nudgee College has celebrated some of its long-standing Term 4 traditions, such as the Senior Farewell and guard of honour.

The emotion I witnessed on the faces of the Seniors who are coming to the end of their Nudgee College journey, and those of their parents and families, served as assurance that I am in the right place. The Nudgee Spirit holds strong in every part of this special place.

I begin by sincerely thanking the Nudgee College community for its generosity in 2021, this includes parents, past and present, Old Boys, friends and families, support groups, the College Advisory Council, Principal and Directors of the Nudgee College Foundation, staff and students. Your continued support of the Foundation will dramatically enhance Nudgee College’s built environment and enable us to increase needsbased bursary support for boys who otherwise might not be able to benefit from the exceptional education offered at Nudgee College.

In my new role as Foundation Manager, I feel a deep passion and sense of responsibility to ensure, through the Foundation’s fundraising endeavours, the College is able to continue to invest in the people and places that make it unique. The responsibility is personal for me, not only due to the magic that you feel working here, but as a mother with two young boys set to join this community in years to come.

I ask that you continue to partner with the Nudgee College Foundation’s vision, in whatever way you can, and help us to secure the brightest future possible for this generation and the next.

Secure your legacy in the Grandstand

Are you the proud parent or relative of a Nudgee College Senior graduating in 2021? Or a son, father, grandfather or relative of a Nudgee College Old Boy?

Now is the time to secure a permanent spot on the Ross Oval Grandstand – a personalised plaque placed on the steps of this iconic College landmark! The Grandstand underwent a significant restoration in 2019 and now stands resplendent as it has since 1927 and for future generations of the College. The heave of Nudgee College boys showing support for their team, the unmistakable sounds of war cries echoing from the stands, the true essence and hub of Nudgee Spirit. A donation of $1,000 or over to the Nudgee College Foundation will purchase a blue plaque and donations of $5,000 or over will purchase a silver plaque placed centrally on the ‘N’ or ‘C’ in the Grandstand.

Treat your loved one this Christmas and buy them a permanent place on the Grandstand, honouring their time at the College, forever etched into the fabric of its future. All plaque purchases are a tax deductible donation to the Nudgee College Foundation and the funds will be used to support the continued advancement of buildings for future generations of the College. For any questions, contact Foundation Manager Ms Lindsay Khushal via foundation@nudgee.qld.edu.au or (07) 3865 0313.
