Philanthropy is a cumbersome word but it is simply giving back. When I got to that place where my family were all secure, and I had something left over, it was easy for me to choose where to give something back. My life was without doubt formed during my years at Andrew’s.”

PHILANTHROPY AT ST ANDREW’S IN 2019
THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR GENEROUS BENEFACTORS AND VOLUNTEERS WHO GAVE TO THE COLLEGE IN 2019. WITH YOUR HELP WE HAVE NOW RAISED OVER $4M TOWARDS OUR OVERALL GOAL OF $7M TO ENABLE ACCESS TO ANDREW’S!
Mr
Charlie Taylor (Fr 1982) Chair of Council
Mr
Niall Cairns (Fr 1981) Chairman of Foundation
It has been a tough few years for many members in our community who are dealing with drought and bushfires and now the global COVID-19 crisis. We recognise the need to provide support to our students and our wider community, whether that be with a safe place to call home, scholarship and bursary assistance or career guidance and advice.
The beginning of 2020 marked the completion of the new Thyne Reid Link Building, just in time for students to move in for Welcome Week. It has been an impressive project throughout its evolution, and the results exceed all expectations. We hope to officially celebrate this exciting milestone with you later this year when
circumstances permit.
Support for this new facility has been overwhelmingly positive; our 1959 Fresher group decided for their 60-year reunion to come together and raise a gift for a bedroom in the building. They are now very close to reaching their inspiring goal and we look forward to showing them through the Thyne Reid Link when they next visit College!
The opening of the new building allowed us to welcome 85 more students than ever before into the College. However, we know that with the increase in our cohort, there will be increased need for financial assistance.
Whilst the building has been a major focus, we also saw our community continue to support vital scholarships and bursary funds.
It is clear that our community recognises the importance of providing students with scholarships and the life-changing impact this can achieve. Peter and Libby Plaskitt established the Plaskitt Family Scholarship in 2017, which has so far supported four students from rural Australia and New Zealand over the past 3 years. You can
read the story behind why Peter and Libby created the Plaskitt Scholarship and how it has helped the recipients on page 8.
Grant and Sandra Close, members of our community and parents to alum Edward Close (Fr 2014), also wanted to give back in some small way, deciding to support students by way of the Rural Scholarship, which assisted two students from rural and regional backgrounds to come to College. Read about why they chose this path on page 10.
Whilst major gifts always inspire, it is important not to forget to recognise those who have loyally supported us over time. There are donors who have been giving to the College for more than 5, 10, or even 20 years! We cannot express enough gratitude for their ongoing support. We spoke to one of our long-time supporters, Colin Davidson (Fr 1954) on page 22 and asked him about his experiences with College and his philosophy on philanthropy.
The 1867 Circle also continues to provide an important platform for us to acknowledge and connect with our community members who have chosen to leave a bequest and assist in securing the College’s future. The lunch this year followed a new format, and Circle members had the opportunity to hear
from the Senior Student, College Outreach Officer and Young Alumni Committee member about different areas of activity in the College. Read more about the event and our list of current members on page 12.
Speaking of bequests, a significant bequest was left by Professor Stephen Salsbury to the College in 1998, which established four endowed scholarships that still exist and support students to this day. You can learn about his story on page 14.
In 2019, we continued to review how we acknowledge our donors. The Foundation Board have developed a new way to recognise the contribution of significant gifts in the form of The Highlander Club. Find out more about this initiative at the end of this Report.
Finally, we thank our fellow Foundation Directors, Andrew Murray AM, Russell Bye, Randall Powell, Bob Stitt, Mitchell Taylor, Grace Petre and the newly joined Amanda Mostyn, for their continued stewardship of our benefactors and the Foundation in 2019.
We also again thank Hannah Atwell, Director of Advancement, and her team for all the work they do to ensure our Alumni Relations and Philanthropy programs continue to be successful.
We hope that you will continue to be part of our journey in 2020 as we continue to seek funds to open more doors and create opportunities for students to experience St Andrew’s College. Your support is essential to the success of the College and we invite you to continue to be our most passionate
advocates and supporters.

GIVING REPORT ENABLING ACCESS TO ANDREW’S
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT IN 2019 FOR PHILANTHROPY, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, OUR STUDENTS.
With your help, we successfully raised another $778,024 towards College’s two priorities: increasing means-tested scholarship funds, and building additional bedrooms (with accompanying facilities). Together, we took another step closer to our goal to enable Access to Andrew’s for as many students as possible!
This amount is the equivalent of covering 22 students’ fees for one year, creating a fully-endowed scholarship to cover one student place at College in perpetuity, or funding 15 bedrooms. Most importantly, this funding allows us to continue to develop and increase access to a worldclass college experience.
We were inspired in 2019 by the generosity of the Alumni Society, who have pledged a gift of $50,000 to support the further fit-out and enhancement of a Student Hub in our new Thyne Reid Link Building. The College will work with the Students’ Club over the next three years to use this funding in the best way possible for our students.
Furthermore, we are grateful for David Kenyon (Fr 1975) and the Kenyon Foundation’s ongoing commitment to supporting the new Student Hub, which will be known as the Kenyon Common Room. Charlie Taylor (Fr 1982) has also
contributed significantly to fund the new gym. Thank you to both!
Last year we sought to establish a Senior Student Corridor Fund, to support the new top floor extension of the Reid Building; part of our new building. We called upon past Senior Students to make a gift and they answered, raising funds to support the equivalent of more than six bedrooms in the corridor to date. Thanks go to Senior Students Campbell Hanan, Charlie Taylor, Andrew Murray, Andrew Wines Angus Taylor, Andrew Bennet, Ken Keith, Ben Bucknell, Gemma Larkin and Susannah Cooke for showing leadership in Philanthropy by being the first Senior Students to pledge gifts for this initiative.
Others in our community sought to do contribute by fully funding new bedrooms with significant gifts. Thanks goes to Hamish Dalziell (Fr 1961) and Ken Neale (Fr 1961) for pledging their support. Many parents also made voluntary building fund donations throughout the year, allowing us to continue with ongoing building maintenance across the campus.
Scholarships were also well supported, and we were excited to work with members of our community who wished to establish new named scholarships in 2019. Alex Halliday (Fr 1965) established
the Halliday Rural & Regional Scholarship, which will support two students from rural and regional backgrounds for the next three years.
We recognise that philanthropy comes in many forms, and the volunteering of time and expertise to the College is always gratefully received. The College Staff and Students’ Club are thankful to all of our alumni, parents and friends who made time to share their professional experiences as part of our new Professional Development Program.
We would also like to thank the Council, the Foundation Board of Management, the Alumni Society, the Young Alumni Committee and our fresher reunion year volunteers for their continued valuable advice and support throughout 2019.
Ms Hannah Atwell Director of Advancement Executive Officer, SAC Foundation
SNAPSHOT OF 2019
In 2019 Annual Giving, 78 donors raised a total of $76,975 towards meanstested scholarships for students from Government Schools, Rural and Regional areas or Indigenous backgrounds, as well as the Thyne Reid Building (Social Common Room, Gym and Music Rooms.
In addition to Annual Giving Appeal, our ongoing scholarships and bursaries were also a key focus, with the College receiving $336,889 in combined gifts towards scholarships this year. A further $106,9330 was also pledged towards named, annual and endowed scholarship funds.
Construction continued on the new Thyne Reid Link Building Development, and we received $196,100 in gifts and an additional $340,000 in pledges towards capital works projects.
A total of $12,600 was gifted towards the College’s General Fund to be used as needed across all of these projects.

IMPACT OF GIVING PLASKITT FAMILY SCHOLARSHIP
The Plaskitt Family Scholarship was established by Peter and Libby Plaskitt in 2017. Their connection with St Andrew’s College began with Peter, who became an Andrewsman in 1958. However, his road to College wasn’t the most conventional nor easiest of paths. After a year jackerooing on the family farm at Quirindi he decided to go to Sydney to study economics and to “take the business world by storm”! However, his application to Drews did not have the outcome he desired. But instead of “taking no for an answer”, Peter caught the midnight mail train and knocked on Principal Dougan’s door early on a Sunday morning!
This resulted in being placed in “a broom cupboard under the stairs with a gentleman from Newcastle” for his first year, and he was very happy to be in St Andrew’s.
His grades improved while at Drews studying Economics, which eventually led to his career in property development. During his four years, Peter was part of the shooting team (which does not exist today but group photos can be seen along the Main Building’s corridor) and also a less formal Sherry Club which involved buying a “flagon of sherry and gathering in Hugh
Lander’s room for a tipple before dinner”. Peter has many fond memories of his time at St Andrew’s and this was a major factor in his and Libby’s decision to support the College. “The experience stays with you –friends, grades, parties etc.!”
Peter’s connection with College continued after he matriculated, and 35 years later, he became a member of the College Council. Peter remained on Council for 9 years and during this time was heavily involved with the development of the Hanks building and the College’s transition to co-residential living. Of the latter he claimed, “It was one of the best things the College ever did”. Peter and Libby even hosted an Elizabethan themed party in the Dining Hall a number of years ago. Their two daughters, Hannah and Sarah, although not St Andrew’s alumni, are university graduates and both are thrilled that young women now have the opportunity to attend St Andrew’s. Peter is currently serving as a member of the Major Works Committee helping to manage College capital works projects such as the Thyne Reid Link Building Development.
The Scholarship is awarded annually to two students, one from west of the Great
Dividing Range NSW and the other from New Zealand, with a preference to the South Island.
Why these two areas? As Peter put it: “You feel you owe something to places that have contributed to your life.”
Peter (who is originally from Quirindi NSW, west of the Great Dividing Range) and Libby (a graduate of Western Australia University), live in Sydney but co-owned a sheep station on the South Island of NZ for 10 years and thereafter built a holiday home in Queenstown which they have enjoyed for the past 20 years.
These two areas have given them so many good experiences in life that they felt that their scholarship should reflect this. In this context their aim was to encourage the diversity of students at Drews. Libby noted their desire “that St Andrew’s have a mix, of overseas, interstate, country and city and if more stay beyond second or third year, as Peter did, a greater spread of ages also results”.
Last year Peter and Libby met with the 2019 Plaskitt Family Scholarship recipients over Formal Dinner at the College. Fergus Bragg (from Aberdeen, NSW) and Liam
Brandwood (from Wellington, NZ) were both in their third year at the time and thoroughly enjoying being at College. They both discussed how integrated they have become in St Andrew’s life and especially with its sporting culture. In 2019 Fergus led the Rawson Rugby team to victory and Liam was a member of the winning Rawson Cricket Team. Whilst Fergus is pursuing a Bachelor of Economics at the University of Sydney, which echoes Peter’s own studies, Liam is studying for
a Bachelor of Architecture. Both students agree that they are passionate about their courses and are excelling in their studies. Also joining the dinner was Liam’s brother, Sam Brandwood (Fr 2016), a recent alumnus and past recipient of the Plaskitt Family Scholarship. Although Sam has moved on from St Andrew’s now, having graduated with a degree in Economics, he still took up the opportunity to see Peter and Libby and thank them again for their support. It is clear that being the recipient
of a scholarship comes with a long-lasting feeling of gratitude and connection.
Our thanks go to the Plaskitt Family for their support and commitment to St Andrew’s and its students. It is through scholarships and bursaries that more young people get to experience the unique College Life that St Andrew’s provides.

IMPACT OF GIVING CLOSE SCHOLARSHIP (THE RURAL SCHOLARSHIP)
Illie Hewitt (Fr 2016)
Michael Baldock (Fr 2018)
“Consider what the evident benefits are that your son or daughter has had by attending St Andrew’s. Think about the sector or area you believe your help can make a difference. Discuss it with the great staff at the College!”
In 2015, Grant and Sandra Close made the pivotal decision to provide their support to St Andrew’s College by establishing a scholarship to assist students from rural or regional Australia.
The first mention of St Andrew’s College came from their daughter Emily, who met an Androvian while she was at a sports camp in Australia and was impressed by what she heard. Even though she was 25 years old at the time and had already finished University, she still decided to relay the information to her family and especially to her younger brother Edward who was nearing the time of choosing where to study. Edward went to an all-boys boarding school in New Zealand, so a co-residential college such as St Andrew’s offered the perfect opportunity to have a diverse and new experience. With this in mind, Edward and the family flew over to Australia just to visit St Andrew’s (no other colleges), applied, and was soon accepted to start his first year in 2014.
Grant explained that being from New Zealand can feel like “a big fish in a little pond”, whilst Australia is “a big country, with big skies and big opportunities”. Like their wish for their son to experience these opportunities, they also wished to help other students who had the hope to “broaden their horizons and have a breadth of experience” and as students from rural or regional Australia are the most affected by financial constraints,
this was added as a requirement to their scholarship. Grant and Sandra both know the benefits of studying and working in a large country and so through their scholarship, they hope to enable more students to experience college life and a university education.
Michael Baldock is one of the students who benefitted from the Close’s generosity. He was awarded the scholarship in 2018 and again in 2019, during his second year at College. Michael, who is originally from Armidale and now studies Exercise and Sport Science at the University of Sydney, remembers walking around St Andrew’s when he came for his interview and ending up spending the whole day here “just loving it”. He was able to meet Grant and Sandra last year in May for an informal afternoon tea whilst they were in Sydney, where he expressed his appreciation for the support that they have given him that has enabled him to experience College life to the full whilst studying full time. He is a keen rugby player, so discussions were had on the Wallabies and the All Blacks.
Another past recipient of the Close Scholarship, Illie Hewitt (Fr 2016), also joined them. Now an alumna of St Andrew’s, Illie also took the opportunity to thank the Close family for their support in 2016 and 2017, inform them of her progress since leaving College and share memories of her time at St Andrew’s. Illie has completed a Bachelor of Medical Science and is currently studying a Doctor of Medicine. She plans to finish this degree in 2021 before working towards becoming a rural generalist Obstetrician. Like Michael, she remembers St Andrew’s feeling “more authentic, kind and
welcoming” than other colleges nearby and is grateful to have received the Close’s support which has been key in helping her achieve her goals.
In addition to supporting St Andrew’s, Grant and Sandra are long-time patrons of the arts, supporting the Christchurch Art Gallery and local Arts initiatives. Grant’s building firm ‘PlaceMakers Riccarton’ has been instrumental in helping with the city’s restoration after the earthquake. This philanthropic nature is evident in many of our supporters and we thank them for providing opportunities for more students who would be otherwise unable to become part of the St Andrew’s family.
The College is always seeking support to continue providing meaningful financial support to students. If you’re interested in contributing or learning more about our Scholarships and Bursaries Program, please contact:

BEQUESTS 1867 CIRCLE
THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR 1867 CIRCLE MEMBERS FOR YOUR ONGOING SUPPORT. WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU TO THE 1867 CIRCLE LUNCH IN 2020.
Bequests have changed lives and the course of the College’s history and continue to do so today. The 1867 Circle is an acknowledgement and recognition of benefactors in our community who have chosen to leave a gift in their will to help ensure that future generations continue to experience the unique opportunity that St Andrew’s College offers.
In 2019, the 1867 Circle members came together on Friday 25 October for their annual lunch at the College, hosted in the Reading Room. The forty attendees comprised of current 1867 Circle members, College benefactors, students and staff, filling the room with conversation and laughter.
Before the lunch commenced Members were given the opportunity to take an exclusive site tour of the new Thyne Reid Link Building to view the construction phase. Many agreed it was exciting to see where the College was heading and that the increase in student numbers was a positive step to take.
Hester Wilson, Acting Principal (at time of lunch) and Vice Principal, began the lunch by welcoming all and giving an update on the College’s progress for the year. As
always, a sumptuous three course meal was prepared by the College catering team and guests were entertained by a musical performance by our Artist in Residence, Ben Adler.
New to 2019 was the inclusion of a guest speaker panel, comprising of Katherine Suttor (Fr 2006 and Young Alumni Committee Member), Minami Takahashi (Fr 2005 and St Andrew’s Outreach Program Officer) and Jack Grant (Fr 2018 and Senior Student 2020). The panel ran effortlessly and we thank Amanda Mostyn (Past Parent, Foundation Board member and College Benefactor) for expertly moderating the conversation. Each speaker discussed their own experience at College, their views on its progress and their plans and hopes for the future.
Thanks were given by Hannah Atwell, Director of Advancement, and the 1867 Circle Committee to all 1867 Circle Members for their valued contributions to College. Upon their departure, guests were presented with a copy of the St Andrew’s Book and a bespoke silver St Andrew’s College crest bookmark as a small token of thanks.
The College hopes that it will be possible
to host The 1867 Circle Lunch once again in September or October 2020, current circumstances permitting. If you would like more information about becoming a member of the 1867 Circle or attending the annual lunch, please get in contact with the Advancement Office or a member of the 1867 Circle Committee. The 1867 Circle Committee comprises Colin Davidson OAM, Andrew Murray AM, Bob Stitt QC, Stuart Niven and Nick Palethorpe.
With the rebrand of the 1867 Circle (formerly the Dick Spann Circle), we are pleased to be producing a new and updated Bequest Brochure and promotional material in 2020. We look forward to continuing sharing and raising awareness about the impact of bequests and the activities of the 1867 Circle with our community over the next year.

FROM THE ARCHIVES PROFESSOR STEPHEN SALSBURY
St Andrew’s generous community of benefactors have always come to the College’s aid when in difficulty. One such time of need was in the late 1990s when the College’s scholarship funds had fallen to a low ebb. Indeed, some particularly able students had been attracted to other Colleges by more generous scholarships and, as St Andrew’s entered a period of transition to co-residence, the Council began to take difficult decisions in order to improve access to College. By 1999, the scholarships at St Andrew’s amounted to barely one tenth of what was available at St Paul’s College.
Having been privy to the many discussions about the shallowness of the scholarship pool, College Fellow, Professor Stephen Salsbury, left a substantial bequest to the College. Following his untimely death in 1999 aged only 66, Professor Salsbury’s gift has established four annual scholarships in traditional economics, agriculture, veterinary science, and law which have supported many students in their studies over the past 21 years.
Stephen Salsbury was one of Sydney University’s more prominent professors. Born in 1931, he graduated with a
Bachelor of Arts in 1953 from Occidental College in the USA, one of the West Coast’s leading Liberal Arts institutions. Salsbury’s excellent undergraduate work took him to Harvard to study for a Master of Arts where he later gained his doctorate in 1961. After Harvard, Salsbury held a number of important academic posts before his appointment as Professor of Economic History at Sydney University in 1979. At Sydney, he worked to intergrade political and economic analysis into a unified approach. This interdisciplinary work was an important part of his contribution to scholarship. Professor Salsbury was subsequently made Dean of Economics at Sydney University and distinguished himself as a conspicuous advocate for the GST.
At St Andrew’s College, Professor Salsbury held the Hunter Baillie Fellowship in English Language and Literature – an appointment that showed the disciplinary latitude of these fellowships.
Like Professor Spann, Professor Salsbury had also made a long contribution to the College, ever since he visited St Andrew’s as an undergraduate from his native California. The Council Chairman, the Revd. D. F. Murray, recalled, ‘He
would regularly dine in College with Senior Common Room members at High Table when he would contribute to the conversation and debate with knowledge, wisdom, insight, humour and disarming candour and frankness.’ Several of Salsbury’s volumes enhance the bookshelves of the Senior Common Room where many of them were written including the emphatically titled No Way to Run a Railroad.

5 MINUTES WITH A BENEFACTOR COLIN DAVIDSON OAM (FR 1954)
COLIN DAVIDSON HAS HAD A LONG CONNECTION WITH COLLEGE SINCE ARRIVING ON CAMPUS AS A FRESHER IN 1954. HE WAS A COUNCILLOR FROM 2002-2010 AND THE CHAIRMAN OF THE FOUNDATION FROM 2003-2009. TODAY, HE IS A MEMBER OF THE ALUMNI SOCIETY, A REGULAR DONOR AND A MEMBER OF THE 1867 CIRCLE. COLIN RECENTLY CELEBRATED HIS 66-YEAR FRESHER YEAR REUNION WITH A LUNCH AT THE COLLEGE, ATTENDED BY NINE OF HIS FELLOW FRESHERS
What are some of your favourite memories of your time being associated with the College?
• Meeting not only other students from similar schools and backgrounds but also those from more diverse origins.
• Although controversial these days, the strong bond forged through the fresher initiation ceremonies.
• The life-long friendships formed with fellow students.
• The inter-collegiate sport competitions.
• Since 2002, the satisfaction of being able to serve the College in various ways and hopefully repaying it for all the benefits received whilst a student.
What would you say was the best thing you remember about your time at College as a student?
Generally, the whole experience and the life-long friendships I made. However, it was all good. Maybe getting the chance to play Rugby with three then-current Wallabies.
What made you choose to live at St Andrew’s rather than anywhere else?
I came from Newcastle, so I had to live somewhere. College was a natural progression from boarding at The Scots College as both were then run by the Presbyterian Church of which my parents were members.
College was quite different in your time to today – what are the main changes that stand out to you today?
• There were no women! (A great step now)
• The improvements in accommodation and facilities, and the food is better!
• The improved tutorial program
• There is greater interaction with the Principal and staff.
In your opinion, what is the most important work that the College does?
Shaping the lives of young people in many meaningful ways in the sometimes difficult transaction from youth to adulthood.
You studied law and went on to become a Judge in the Compensation Court. Do you have any advice for students entering studying law and looking to make a career in it?
First and foremost, only do it if you find it
enjoyable. And as with all Faculties, team up with a fellow student to “bounce off” in your study.
How did College help you to shape your future employment/life opportunities?
It probably played a part in getting me my first job as an Articled Clerk with two good law firms whilst still doing my course. As a young Barrister it may also have had some influence on the Solicitors who sent me the work to appear in Court.
What do you like to do in your spare time now that you are retired?
I like to go sailing or walking. I socialise with family and old friends, and travel both overseas and in Australia. And I like to read.
Why do you choose to give to St Andrew’s?
As a modest repayment for all it has given me. And to, in some way, help other young people gain the experience and benefit it has given me.
What motivates you to stay involved with the College?
As above, and for the satisfying social interaction it provides in my retirement.
Do you have an anecdote about the College that really moved you?
This is a hard one. Whilst probably not directly relevant, it gives me the opportunity to acknowledge the extraordinary service rendered to College by the late Professor Ian Jack.
You are also a member of the 1867 Circle, having indicated you have left a bequest to the College. Could you expand further on why you chose to do this and why you think it is important that we have bequests?
I have chosen to leave a bequest as a very modest gesture of the great value I place upon what College did in shaping my future life. Obviously bequests assist College to provide some of its benefits to its students.
What do you hope the organisation will achieve in the near future? In the long term?
I don’t really feel qualified to answer this question other than to say that I believe the organisation has never been better in my life-time and probably in its history. So – just keep up the good work.
As a supporter of the College, an alumnus and a philanthropist, what advice would you give to others considering making a gift or leaving a bequest?
Just do it!
The Advancement Office would like to thank Colin for taking the time to speak to us.

SAC FOUNDATION INVESTMENT REPORT
IN 2019, THE FOUNDATION RAISED OVER $153,444 IN DONATIONS AND THE FOUNDATION’S ENDOWMENT REACHED $10.3 MILLION AND EARNED INVESTMENT INCOME OF OVER $744,942.
The overall objective of the Foundation Board of Management is to work with the Investment Committee and Investment Manager to maintain the endowment in real terms overtime by aiming to provide annual returns of 4% above CPI over any 5-year period.
In order to achieve this aim, the target asset allocation of the Foundation is to have 65% of the funds in growth assets such as Australian and International equities with the remaining 35% in interest rate securities, term deposits and cash.
From January 2017, the asset allocation has been lowered to 48/52 due to the need to keep $3 million in cash or near cash which is the amount earmarked for the College for the new building works which were due to commence at the end of 2017.
Unfortunately, the commencement was delayed for one year due to the Sydney City Council not approving the Development Application in time for the planned commencement of the works. This has meant the Foundation has had to hold the $3 million cash for 2.5 years. This,
of course, has been an unavoidable drag on the Fund performance.
Despite this, the 5-year annualised performance figure to the end of December 2019 of 6.7% bettered the 5-year target performance of 5.8% by 0.9% per annum. The performance of the Fund for CY19, including the extra-large cash holding, was plus 13.3% which compared favourably with the Balanced Fund Benchmark for the year of plus 12.5%. All performance figures are net of fees incurred in managing the portfolio.
The Investment Strategy takes into account the statutory need for the Foundation, being a Public Ancillary Fund (PuAF), to distribute 4% of the assets of the Fund, valued at 1st January each year, to the College. Accordingly, in 2019, the Foundation made a payment of $383,549 to the College. These funds are being used to bolster the College’s scholarships and bursaries program which totaled $1.6 million in CY19.
The Foundation Board thanks and acknowledges the special contribution of the Investment Committee (IC)
comprising the Chairman, Niall Cairns as well as Committee members Russell Bye, Nick Palethorpe, Richard Dougan, Craig Blair and Mitch Taylor. Much time, effort and expertise has been contributed by the Committee to ensure the funds are professionally managed and are fully compliant with all regulatory requirements. This includes an ongoing review and update of the Investment Strategy and Mandate for Investment of College and Foundation Funds to ensure it is up to date with the changing environment.
Our thanks also go to our appointed Investment Managers, Ord Minnett represented by Andrew Murray and Anthony Teasdale, who have worked closely and professionally with the Foundation Investment Committee to successfully achieve the investment aims of the Board.
Mr Niall Cairns Chairman of the
Investment Committee
The performance figures have been skewed over the last two & a half years due to the holding of $3 million in cash which was earmaked for the College building development which is now well underway. All
SUPPORT ST ANDREW’S WAYS TO GIVE
“Without scholarships, the diversity of students would not be the same, therefore, the Andrew’s experience would not be the same. Having the opportunity to meet so many different people from all different backgrounds allows us to continually shape our views and values and as a result, grow into leaders who can positively help shape our communities..” Lachlan Barrett (Fr 2017), 3rd Year Education (Primary) Country Education Foundation Scholarship Recipient

SUPPORT ST ANDREW’S BECOME A HIGHLANDER
WE WARMLY INVITE YOU TO JOIN THE HIGHLANDER CLUB. ESTABLISHED IN 2019, THE CLUB RECOGNISES RECENT SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO ST ANDREW’S COLLEGE AND ITS FOUNDATION.
THE PURPOSE:
• Recognize and acknowledge those who are active and passionate supporters of the College and College Foundation
• Be engaged with the College alongside other likeminded people
• Encourage members of our community to make a significant gift to a cause they support over time and help Enable Access to Andrew’s
• Encourage and support a wider culture of philanthropy in our community
• Increase the total philanthropic funds available to the College and its students to allow increased access to scholarships, facilities and programs
Our goal is to welcome 100 Highlanders to launch the Club and achieve our goals in the Enabling Access to Andrews’ Campaign.
Our long term goal is to welcome 1,000 Highlanders to secure the College for our future students.
BECOMING A HIGHLANDER
All alumni, parents and friends of St Andrew’s College are eligible to become Highlanders of the Highlander Club by pledging a new minimum gift of $25,000
towards the current Campaign which aims to enable access to Andrew’s by raising money for much needed bedrooms and scholarships. If you have made a gift of $25,000 or more in past 4 years, you will automatically qualify as a member.
A gift of this size can fund a partial scholarship for a student for 3 years, or half a new bedroom in the Thyne Reid Link Development. Your gift can be made over a number of years e.g. 5 x $5,000. You can also choose which area you wish to support e.g. a Scholarship Fund, the Thyne Reid Link Development, the Academic Programs Fund or all three.
To find out all the areas that we are seeking support for and to discuss your gift, contact:
We would like to acknowledge and thank all our Highlanders for their significant contribution towards the College and its students. Highlanders will receive a pair of cashmere scarves made in the College’s registered tartan and invitations to exclusive Highlander Club Members events.
