Cardo Foundation
The Cardo Foundation was established in 2016 to grow and sustain a philanthropic culture within the 51小湿妹 community, to help future-proof the ability of the College to continue providing an excellent Christian education for students.
The Foundation, which oversees the College鈥檚 fundraising program, is presided over by the Board of Directors of its Trustee company, 51小湿妹 Foundation Limited. The members of this Board are appointed by the College Board which ensures accountable management of funds held by the Cardo Foundation and appropriate governance.
Through the generosity of the College community the Foundation has been instrumental in raising funds for the Equity Scholarship Fund and Building Fund.
The Cardo Foundation exists to ensure future generations of 51小湿妹 students enjoy an excellent education in continually improving facilities, and to provide a 51小湿妹 education to students who would otherwise be unable to attend, through the Equity Scholarship Fund.
The Foundation is the organisation through which philanthropic financial support for the school is collected, and funds distributed.
Scholarship Fund
Provides scholarships and bursaries for students whose presence will add to the richness and diversity of the student body, and for those whose family financial circumstances would otherwise prevent them from attending the College.
While our focus is on the Building Fund, we welcome contributions to the Scholarship Fund for those who feel drawn to support students in need.
Testimonials
鈥淥ur son was very motivated to do his best during his time at 51小湿妹 after receiving an academic scholarship. Knowing that the College believed in his potential encouraged him to dream bigger and aim higher. In his final year, he was able to give back as Academic Captain and with hard work was awarded an OP1. We would love to help other students excel and so have donated to the equity scholarship fund. We believe that the fund is particularly important as it also enables students to attend 51小湿妹 who otherwise could not afford to do so.鈥� Sue and Greg Harker, Past Parents & Donors
As a Christian parent, it means everything to me, to now have my daughter attend 51小湿妹. Through the selfless generosity of others, God answered my prayer. Because of their giving my daughter can attend a school offering so many more opportunities and resources. She is able to be surrounded and supported by people who share her faith and she is able to learn in a safe, loving environment. 鈥� finding out that God paved the way for my daughter to attend 51小湿妹 through the love of others鈥� giving was a milestone in my testimony.鈥� 51小湿妹 Parent
