The Gift of Opportunity
Scholarships play a vital role in fostering an inclusive and connected community, creating life-changing opportunities for young people who will both benefit from and contribute to a Caulfield Grammar School education. The School has a proud tradition of offering needs-based scholarships to students who will thrive at Caulfield Grammar School and enrich the culture and diversity of our community. By supporting students with a passion for learning to join and belong to the School, we strengthen our learning community and contribute to a better future for society.
Foundation Scholarships
The Foundation Scholarship Fund aims to build a sustainable corpus of funds to enable Caulfield Grammar School to award needs-based scholarships to students who would otherwise be unable to access a Caulfield Grammar School education.
The School’s scholarship priority areas include:
- Indigenous Scholarships
- Humanitarian Scholarships
- WS Morcom Scholarship (Boarding)
Donors may choose to support a specific priority area, fund a student for a defined period (such as four or six years), or establish a named, permanently endowed scholarship (minimums apply) through a gift during their lifetime or via a bequest.
Through our Scholarship Program, we seek to foster a socially conscious school community that values diversity, builds lifelong connections, and creates meaningful opportunities for students.

Contemporary Learning Environments
Contemporary learning environments play a vital role in the education of students. They support staff and students in providing up-to-date facilities, teaching program support and a stimulating environment where learning flourishes and students reach their potential.
"As education evolves, we need world-class facilities for students and teachers that can cater for new learning styles and new approaches to learning; we need adaptable and flexible learning spaces. As education evolves, and it is evolving exponentially, our facilities need to evolve with it. We are re-imagining the future with our community."
Ashleigh Martin, Principal

Thoughtfully designed spaces create transformative, inspiring, and inclusive learning environments where students thrive by feeling inspired, valued and motivated. The essential foundations for academic success; love of learning and lifelong growth, are characteristics shaped by fit-for-purpose buildings that support learning now, whilst fostering a culture of independence, curiosity and pride that will see students prepared to flourish, too, in life beyond the school gates.
Previous philanthropic support has enabled many transformative spaces and facilities around our School including the Cripps Centre, Aquatic Centre, Alf Mills Oval scoreboard, Senior School Building at our Caulfield Campus, Memorial Hall Complex, The Pavilion and Nick Mulder Music Precinct at the Wheelers Hill campus, and the installation of solar panels at the Kakadu campus.
Gifts to the Building Fund are tax deductible. Single gifts or pledges over three to five years are welcomed.
Our current focus is on the Wheelers Hill Development. This exciting new project will deliver a building and wider environment where Years 9-12 students at our Wheelers Hill campus can truly thrive, one that supports academic and personal growth, and inspires creativity just as the Senior School building has at our Caulfield campus.
To enable students to reach their potential, the design considers the changing educational and social needs of students at a pivotal stage in their personal growth and academic development. The senior student precinct will have state-of-the-art flexible classrooms, innovative labs, and communal spaces all in a carefully planned setting that forms an integral part of the precinct and contributes to student well-being.
These spaces will be designed to foster a sense of independent learning in our students, with private and group study and collaboration spaces available for students. There will also be spaces set aside ensuing that students will have opportunity to meet, socialise and take time out as part of responding to teenagers’ varying emotional and mental health needs. By investing in this facility, we are creating a vibrant hub where students can build confidence, explore new ideas and develop the skills they need to succeed in an ever-changing world. This space will provide the foundations for every student to not only succeed, but to thrive.
This project will also include an opportunity to support the campus landscaping and outdoor redevelopment. This thoughtfully designed outdoor environment will encourage environmental awareness and appreciation, physical activity, foster social interaction, and provide calming, natural spaces that reduce stress and support mental well-being. [Please note gifts to the outdoor redevelopment are non-tax deductible.]
Twin Halls Refurbishment
Used daily, our much-loved Twin Halls are used by our 3,700 pupils alongside our families and staff across the academic year. Assemblies, Graduations, School productions and concerts, are just a handful of reasons these spaces are, in many ways, the beating heart of our school. After twenty years of wonderful service, they are now being upgraded. Refurbishment of these facilities will include the seats ensuring we create a comfortable, welcoming environment that inspires creativity and self-expression. The campaign will include an opportunity to sponsor a seat.

“Take only memories, leave only footprints.” Proverb inspired by Chief Seattle
Gifts to develop and extend our outdoor and cross-cultural learning environments in Kakadu and our Yarra Junction campus will enable students to thrive by broadening their experiences and perspectives, immersing them in real-world environments.
By enhancing our structured offering at these campuses, which includes all students from Years 3 to Year 12. Students will continue to benefit from an ever-widening program which will arm them with the essential skills to work with their peers, the environment and local communities; to navigate a diverse world confidently, to embrace collaboration, and thrive as informed, compassionate, global citizens.
The special immersive experience at Kakadu and Yarra Junction offers our students the opportunity to disconnect from the hyper-connected world and engage in learning, connection, and the environment.
At Yarra Junction, our ambition is to enhance the existing educational opportunities in two ways. We are developing facilities for the Year 8 program, building a new Year 7 Neighbourhood and refurbishing the original Cuming House precinct to accommodate the student experience whilst conserving its important cultural heritage.
We will also invest in adjoining properties to increase the scale of the current educational programs. Two full classes of students from different year levels will simultaneously be able to stay on campus and take part in the wide range of educational activities during their visit. Redevelopment and expansion of the facilities will ensure every class of students will have the opportunity to enjoy longer stays at Yarra Junction further building on the many experiential benefits.
To develop and expand our Year 9 Kakadu Program, the School plans to invest in the local community and the facilities there to benefit both our student experiences and the Mirarr people of Jabiru. Through extension of our facilities, we will be able to extend the program from 24 to 35 days, enabling students to benefit from further immersion in the transformational experiences and environment that Kakadu offers.
Caulfield Grammar staff and leadership will continue to work carefully and in close partnership with the local community, traditional owners, elders, the Jabiru Area School and the NT Government. Our aim is to invest in community spaces and the local Jabiru Area School and to ensure that all our projects there are focussed on the local community and our students thriving equally and in partnership, and that our work leaves a positive legacy.
