2024 has been a remarkable year for community giving, with significant contributions enabling the SPSC Foundation to invest in the renewal of the School’s walls, fields, and social license. The generous support of our donors has allowed us to fund multiple impactful projects, including contributions to the Chapel Fund, enhancements to the Norm Howard Outdoor Education Centre at Finniss, the acquisition of key boats for the SPSC Rowing fleet, the relaying of the Main Oval’s centre wicket, and the commissioning of several scholarships and bursaries. These initiatives will enable St Peter’s College to provide opportunities for students to thrive for many years to come.

Established in 1985, the SPSC Foundation continues to deliver meaningful support to the School. This year alone, it will donate over $1 million to the School, a testament to the generosity of our community. In 2025, we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Foundation’s inception – a milestone that coincides with new and exciting projects requiring our collective support. Together, we aim to uphold the vision of our Founders, ensuring St Peter’s College remains the enduring institution imagined nearly 200 years ago through their extraordinary generosity.

Last week, we celebrated this year’s achievements with over 100 members of our community at our annual Celebration of Giving event. As we look ahead to 2025, we invite you to join us once again in this rewarding journey of shared purpose and commitment to renewing our School for generations to come.
