Why Philanthropy Matters
We believe that the best gift you can give is the gift of an exceptional education. Toorak College prides itself on developing students with confidence and character so they can thrive in their future, but we need your help to continue striving to achieve our vision.
As an independent school on the Mornington Peninsula, we aim to produce the personal best academic results paired with future readiness. Yet, to achieve these goals, we must ensure we endorse the highest quality educators and invest in state-of-the-art facilities. There are many ways to give back, whether it’s through the gift of time, money or your expertise. Most importantly, all donations, large and small, are important to the School.
Inspiring Spaces
Introducing the Community & Arts Precinct
There is nothing more important to us than empowering our students to have access to opportunities and resources so they can pursue their passions and influence the direction of social change, nationally and internationally. Our new Community and Arts Precinct will provide the launching pad for our future leaders, our future performers, our future entrepreneurs and our future global citizens. This is where the legendary Toorak Spirit will take flight in the Mary Herring Theatre.
Toorak College aims to ensure our students thrive in this challenging world. We have a long and proud tradition of investing in and renewing our infrastructure so that both current and future generations of students have world-class facilities in which to find their passion. We are primed to continue to strengthen the academic, personal growth, and communal experience for our entire community with our new Toorak College Community and Arts Precinct.
One Scholarship makes a difference
Toorak College offers scholarships for girls in order to help inspired students reach their full potential. Scholarships enrich our school and support students to follow their dreams. Several Scholarships have been established through the generosity of others including the Alice Sloan Memorial Scholarship, the Christine Friday Arts & Humanities Scholarship, the Margaret Wallace Reid Scholarship and the Swift Science and Technology Scholarship.
Gifts are life changing
For nearly 150 years, Toorak College has advanced through the generosity of our benefactors. Our students are the beneficiaries of philanthropy from our current parents, Collegians, staff, past families and friends. We are exceptionally grateful to those who have given generously to provide the educational opportunities, buildings and facilities that our students currently enjoy today.
