Friends Together 2025
With the School’s throughline this year of Active Hope, we hope you can consider supporting the School’s annual giving program, Friends Together. This year we are focusing our efforts on raising money for The Friends’ Fellowship, to enable a student, whose family can least afford the fees, to access a Friends' education next year. There are also options to contribute to building and facilities developments, and information literacy through the School libraries.
To donate and for more information visit here.
