Annual Giving
Annual Giving is the College’s yearly fundraising program that invites our community to support key College initiatives.
Currently, Annual Giving is raising funds for Centenary Appeal scholarships which will commemorate each of the 14 young Georgians who died in service during the Second World War. The first two scholarships, in memory of Ted Parsons (1937) and Syd Rowe (1934), were awarded for the first time in 2024. Ted and Syd’s stories can be found here. The rest of the scholarships will be awarded in 2031, the College’s centenary year.
This year, we are raising funds towards a scholarship in memory of Percy Rowan (1935). May 10th 1940 marked the end of the phony war and the beginning of the Fall of France. German armies swept into France and the Netherlands. Neville Chamberlain resigned and was replaced as Prime Minister by Winston Churchill and St George’s College suffered its first war-time fatality - Percy Rowan, aged just 24 years old. As he was with the RAF, rather than the RAAF, his name is not listed on the State War Memorial in Kings Park and so it seems even more fitting that a scholarship be created in his memory. More of Percy’s moving story can be found here.

100 TIL 100
In 2031, our College will turn 100. Please consider becoming a member of the $100 ‘TIL 100 Annual Giving Program. In other words – a gift of $100 each year until the College’s Centenary in 2031. Major donors will always make a tremendous difference. However, there is power in many small gifts. Together, we can also make a great impact. If you would like further information on our $100 ‘TIL 100 program, get in touch with us here.
