All Hallows’ Foundation:
Continuing Catherine’s Legacy
There is an Indian proverb that goes something like,
“Blessed are those who plant trees under whose shade
they will never sit”. I am paraphrasing just a little to
convey that our donors, who support the work of the
Foundation, give to benefit others, most of whom they
will never meet.
To all our AHSisters who have given through the
Foundation this year (regardless of whether you have
supported building development or the Catherine
McAuley Bursary) we thank you for your generosity and
advocacy.
Our Activities this year
Our annual appeal this year invited our community
to give to the reimagined Potter building and more
specifically, to the Senior Study Centre. Our families
could additionally give to the Catherine McAuley
Bursary. We were able to raise over $42,000 during a
46
The Hallowian | 2021
period that continued to challenge our plans to engage
our community face-to-face on campus. Thank you to
everyone who donated.
We continued to build upon the pledge program which
enables us to;
• Continue the extraordinary legacy of Catherine
McAuley through the bursary fund providing
opportunities to families who might not ordinarily
consider All Hallows’ due to financial reasons
•
Plan and design facilities and programs that create
the most appropriate and impactful environments
for our students and community
•
Maintain our fees at a comparatively moderate
level – with a forecasted decrease in government
funding, this will be increasingly challenging.
Thank you to everyone who has committed to ongoing
support through this program.
