News from the Foundation<br />
Brett Gamble – Chairman<br />
Welcome once again to our <strong>Evergreen</strong> readers. The St<br />
Margaret’s College Foundation has appointed Nicky Averill as<br />
their new Fundraiser. Together with the Trustees, Nicky<br />
is already in planning mode for a number of exciting events,<br />
as well as exploring sponsorship opportunities for the school.<br />
We are thrilled to announce that the Foundation will be hosting<br />
an evening with Steve Hansen on Thursday 21st September<br />
in the school gymnasium. Save this date and keep an eye out<br />
for ticketing information.<br />
The principal purpose of the Foundation is to provide support<br />
to the school, to support our students to learn, to live and<br />
to lead. This is primarily achieved through the St Margaret’s<br />
College Community; current and old girls, current and past<br />
parents, and teachers. This community continues to support<br />
scholarship opportunities and contributeto the rebuild costs<br />
of our wonderful new campus.<br />
A special thank you must go to the incredible support we<br />
received in 2016. The first ever Annual Appeal was a great<br />
success; the PFA ran<br />
a wonderful Art Exhibition<br />
for the Foundation; and the<br />
farming community continues<br />
to support the school through<br />
the Stock Scheme.<br />
Support given to the Foundation to enable girls to attend the<br />
school has enormous impact on their lives, not just while<br />
at St Margaret’s, but well into their future.<br />
Many opportunities to support the Foundation and the wider<br />
SMC community are available. There is a chance to make<br />
a real impact through Foundation Trustee membership,<br />
scholarship donation, sponsorship and naming rights for major<br />
donations, the Stock Scheme and Business Club membership.<br />
For further information on any of the Foundation activities,<br />
please contact Nicky Averill on (03) 353 2560 x 8412 or<br />

Though the initial decision to change schools in Y12 was<br />
one she didn’t take lightly, Amelia Persson says moving<br />
to St Margaret’s on a sporting scholarship has given her<br />
so much more than just helping her to achieve her sporting<br />
goals, “My eyes have been opened to academic and career<br />
possibilities that before St Margaret’s had never featured<br />
on my radar. While sport and triathlons are still the ideal<br />
career path, I’m now excited at the concept of pursuing<br />
my interests in biology and chemistry and seeing what<br />
my future might look like following my sporting career.”<br />
