Giving

Philanthropic gifts from our community have supported a myriad of building endeavours over the years including the John Morris Library, the Performing Arts Centre, the Scotch Oakburn Park Pavilion, the HPEC, the Middle School development and the Helix Centre for Science and Mathematics, to name a few. It is an impressive list and one that has ensured our College’s outstanding facilities have remained as relevant and progressive as the education that takes place within them.

In addition to financial support for buildings and facilities, donations have also supported the Scotch Oakburn College student scholarship program across a range of criteria, which has resulted in more than 1050* student scholarships being awarded over the past 14 years! This has seen some of Tasmania’s most worthy and admirable students join the College to the benefit of the entire community.

OUR COMMUNITY’S GENEROSITY HAS CONTRIBUTED TO MORE THAN 1050* SCHOLARSHIPS

Giving Day success

Our priority for philanthropic support in 2024 was to support our Community Service Scholarship through our Giving Day held on Thursday 5 September. We reached our goal and are celebrating a milestone that will soon benefit our incredibly fortunate Community Service Scholarship recipients!

This achievement isn’t just about numbers; it is about the lives that will be transformed because of the generosity of our community. The scholarships we have funded together will open doors to an education that inspires, empowers, and shapes the leaders of tomorrow. Imagine the possibilities these students will unlock — possibilities that we would not have been able to reach without your support.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our Scotch Oakburn College community, a group of students now has access to an extraordinary education that will truly transform their lives. You can still donate using the links below.

Our community is creating a legacy of opportunity and hope, one that will ripple outwards for years to come.
