ADVANCING THE EDUCATION OF YOUNG WOMEN
Welcome to our first newsletter of 2023, and the return of another busy school year! At the Foundation we have now mapped out our financial supports to students in 2023, with our annual grants calendar detailed in this edition. On the subject of bursaries, we were humbled to hear the impact of our new Starting School Bursaries on incoming Year 9 students and their families. You can read a selection of recipients' testimonials in this edition also.
With the disruption of COVID a distant memory, this year has fortunately seen the return of face-to-face learning and events. In our final edition of 2022, we highlight the many milestones that have occurred this year – from the mid-year induction of five amazing alumnae to Mac.Rob’s Portrait Gallery, coinciding with the Foundation’s project to digitally immortalise past, present and future members, to the new scholarships and grants we’ve been able to offer for the first time, thanks to the generous support of our donors.
In this edition of the Mac.Rob Foundation newsletter, we share the exciting details of our new grant – the Starting School Bursaries. The Starting School Bursaries will assist families in financial hardship to make those oftentimes costly purchases needed to start school, such as books, tablets and uniforms. You can read more about the new grant in this edition, along with an introduction to our new Board members and a recap of Mac.Rob Week in September.
