KEE BUNDU SCHOLARSHIP

We are pleased to announce Eliysse Johnson as St Mary’s inaugural KEE Bundu Scholar.

Eliysse, who commenced Year 7 at the beginning of the year, is a second-generation St Mary’s student, following in the footsteps of her mother, Latarney Johnson (McGinty ’02). Eliysse is enjoying attending St Mary’s alongside her older sister, Siennah.

The full tuition and boarding scholarship will enable Eliysse to enjoy all the benefits of a St Mary’s education. Without this scholarship, she could not attend St Mary’s.

Damon and Clayton Spiers from KEE Group and Ivan Thompson of Bundu Contracting, founded their charity, KEE Bundu Pty Ltd, to ensure that all funding directly benefits, supports and provides opportunities to Indigenous families.

The charity offers industry partners a clear and transparent opportunity to achieve goals relating to Indigenous support, with the knowledge that all proceeds from the charity are independently audited and help Indigenous families where they need it most.

“We believe that education is the catalyst for change and are extremely passionate about providing lifechanging scholarships direct to Indigenous families and communities. We believe that St Mary’s will give Eliysse the life skills and opportunities that she needs to succeed in life. We look forward to following her journey and watching her grow and flourish over the next six years,” Damon said.
