She gifted part of her estate to the school following her death in 2019. In acknowledgement, the building’s gymnasium space will be named after her. Fundraising has been ongoing to reach the project’s target goal of $5.6m and, to date, just under $4.2m has been raised. “We have been very generously supported by our wonderful community. In a bid to close the fundraising gap, we have a number of fundraising initiatives in the pipeline including a 24-hour Giving Day.” It is an exciting time for the school, after the challenges arising from Covid restrictions. “Today, our school is in great spirit with a clear pathway for the future, strong roll demand and a student body and staff who love turning up to school each day – as a principal, you can’t ask for much more than that.”
