Business Breakfast 2025

Over 255 guests from our community attended our fourth Foundation Business Breakfast on Thursday 27 March.

The event featured valuable insights from prominent business leaders within our community: Kelly O’Dwyer, Non-Executive Director and former Australian Government Cabinet Minister; David Neal, CEO of IFM Investors; and Adrian Redlich, Chief Investment Officer at Merricks Capital and Foundation President. They shared their expertise on navigating today’s complex investment landscape, addressing challenges such as populist governments, inflationary pressures, and the upcoming federal election.

The event began with an Acknowledgment to Country by Deakyn Smith, a past Foundation Scholarship recipient, followed by a moving testimonial video from another former scholarship recipient Ragavan Jenaddarasan and Fem Hunter, Director of the Rich Hart Foundation.

A special thank you to our event sponsor Merricks Capital, our MC Virginia Trioli and to our 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.

Next year the date will be Thursday 26 March 2026. Mark this date in your diary now!
