Aloysius’ Annual Fund. These gifts were directed to the
purchase and installation of fifteen interactive whiteboards
(‘smartboards’) and data projectors, the purchase of new
educational materials for the College libraries and the
provision of means-tested bursaries to boys who otherwise
would not have the opportunity to attend the College and
benefit from an Aloysian education.
The success of the ‘smartboard’ trial has been very
positive, so much so that the College is keen to see every
boy benefit from their use; we have therefore decided to
install one in each classroom throughout the College. In
order for us to achieve this goal, we need to raise over
$400,000 from the 2008 Aloysius’ Annual Fund to make
this possible. Donations to the tax-deductible Building Fund
will be directed to the purchase of interactive whiteboards
and data projectors.
With the roll out of the smartboards across the College,
we will need to update a number of the computer systems in
the College libraries. New computer hardware (computers,
servers and monitors), as well as software (computer
programmes and applications), will be required not only
to maintain the smartboards, but also to ensure that our
boys and staff are able to get the most out of this exciting
technology. Gifts made to the tax-deductible Library Fund
will be directed to the purchase of this additional computer
equipment and will also enable the College to purchase
additional material for the College libraries.
Each year, more and more boys are able to attend the
College on means-tested academic bursaries through the
generosity of the Aloysian Family. These boys, who through
their family’s economic situation would not normally have the
opportunity to attend St Aloysius’, now have the opportunity
to benefit from an Aloysian education. The presence of
these boys enriches the lives and education of all Aloysians.
The cultural and socio-economic diversity of St Aloysius’ is
something that sets us apart from other schools in Australia.
Gifts made to the tax-deductible Bursary Fund will support
and expand the College Bursary Programme.
Gifts in support of the 2008 Aloysius’ Annual Fund can
be made on the form below and returned to the College.
Gifts made prior to 30 June will receive a tax-deductible
receipt for inclusion in 2007-2008 tax returns.
The College is humbled by the active generous support
of so many members of the Aloysian Family. Ongoing
financial support of the College will enable her to remain
at the forefront of boys’ education in Australia.
On behalf of the students, staff and Jesuits of the
College: a sincere Thank You!
