Ash Grove Honour Boards – EOFY Opportunity
We have planted our very own Ash Grove in the garden between the Tower and the pool, and you can be part of it.
Donors to this appeal will be recognised on two honour boards near the Ash Grove. Your family’s legacy will be entwined with the native Blueberry Ash trees as they grow and flourish alongside your sons – and their sons.
With the end of the financial year almost upon us, now is a great time to make a tax-deductible gift and vote – in a very tangible way – for the future of this great College.
We are hugely grateful to the donors who have already committed to supporting the College in this way.
St Marcellin Centre Progresses to State Architecture Awards
After being recognised with a Commendation in the Brisbane Regional Awards, our stunning St Marcellin Centre is now in with a chance of a prestigious Queensland Architecture Award.
Another group of senior architects visited the building on Friday 9 May and arrived in time to see a hive of activity showcasing architect and Old Boy (1985) Paul Hotston’s learning and teaching-centric design.
While our building might not have the glitz of some of the more lavish entrants in our category – many of which are $30M+ projects – it aligns perfectly with our charism of humility, simplicity, and modesty and that might just make us stand out from the crowd.
To be shortlisted is a win in itself – and we could snag the People’s Choice Award on top.
If you haven’t already voted, use every email address you have. Encourage your friends and family to vote too. Voting closes 25 June.
