2026 Philanthropy Business Breakfast

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended the Caulfield Grammar School Foundation Business Breakfast.

The morning commenced with a meaningful Acknowledgment to Country by Dr Luke Egan, Class of 2018, followed by a powerful testimonial video from former Foundation Scholarship recipient Salutu Felise.

Guests then heard valuable insights from esteemed business leaders within our community, Chris Lynch and Cameron Stewart, in a discussion expertly led by Kelly O’Dwyer. This was complemented by an inspiring interview with Principal Ashleigh Martin and past Foundation Scholarship recipient Farzana Haidari, whose story deeply resonated with all in attendance.

We extend our sincere thanks to our event sponsor, Otira Capital, our wonderful Master of Ceremonies Mignon Stewart, and the 260 guests whose generosity will fund two new Foundation Scholarships. This support will provide deserving students with access to a Caulfield Grammar School education, an opportunity they may not otherwise have had.

Over the past eight years, the extraordinary generosity of our community has transformed the lives of 51 students through the Foundation Scholarship program. As highlighted by Ashleigh Martin, these students, from Indigenous, refugee, and regional backgrounds, have enriched the diversity and strength of our School community.
