Contributing to Saints
Saints has benefited from a long and distinguished history of philanthropy and it remains an important part of the School today. There are many ways in which you can support the School through the St Peter’s College Foundation. The Foundation actively raises funds from current and former parents, old scholars and other members of the community.
Donations help to provide the outstanding environment in which the boys learn and provides scholarships for promising and capable boys for whom an education at Saints would otherwise be out of reach.
The Rex J Lipman Fellows Program
Through the Rex J Lipman Fellows Program, innovative speakers and thinkers visit the School to inspire boys and give a free public lecture to the wider community. It encapsulates our vision and mission for Saints to develop educated, considerate and outward-looking young men who will act responsibly for the good of the wider community.
