Friends Together - Annual Fundraising Program
Thank you to those who have so generously donated to this year's Friends Together program already. For those who haven't, we invite you to join us in creating opportunities for those who need it most as we approach the end of June.
This year, we are focused on supporting The Friends' Fellowship, a community-funded program that provides financial assistance to deserving students who cannot afford a Friends' education, to join our learning community in 2026.
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.
