Giving to the School

Joe Mounsey's Parting Gift

Some wonderful  (and very large) artwork was installed at our Clemes Campus recently. This beautiful piece, depicting the waratah from our School crest, was produced and donated to the School by Old Scholar, Joe Mounsey (2017).

Joe discussed the idea with the School early last year as his way of leaving his mark and saying ‘thank you’ for his time at The Friends’ School.  The artwork is made from Core 10 Steel and is chemically treated to accelerate the rusting process, which produces the stunning raw and rusted steel colours.  Joe's father, Brett, has helped him over the years working with steel and this particular piece was made with two large sheets of steel on a CNC Plasma table.  Joe now sells his steel creations at Salamanca Market.

Thank you to Joe for his thoughtful contribution and donation to our School.

Annual Giving

Each year the Friends’ community comes together to raise funds for vital projects, programmes and services that are outside the operational budget of the School. With funds raised we invest in students, facilities and resources that enhance The Friends’ School experience and help our students realise their individual potential. Whilst school fees cover the running costs of the School, philanthropic giving transforms it and our students will have a better learning experience because of every gift - large and small.

In the coming weeks, we look forward to sharing with you our focus for this year's Annual Giving Appeal.
