Leaving a bequest to Lowther Hall is a meaningful way to support future generations of students, ensuring they receive an exceptional education. With a proud tradition of empowering girls through scholarships and enriching resources, we are committed to providing a broad and rigorous curriculum that nurtures the whole person for the whole of life. Your generosity helps sustain this legacy for years to come.
From the very beginning, Lowther Hall has been a community of great generosity, with people of foresight seeking to resource the future with gifts both small and large.
Indeed, our Mansion building (Earlsbrae Hall) was in part gifted to the Anglican Church by Edward Cole in 1919, through a provision in his Will. It was this generosity that enabled Archbishop Henry Lowther Clarke to realise his vision for an Anglican Girls’ School in Essendon.
This tradition of giving has been a wonderful reflection of the School’s motto, Non Nobis Solum, not for ourselves alone, which lies at the heart of Lowther Hall’s ethos and values.
A bequest through a Will is a considered and deeply personal action which reflects your beliefs and life values. It provides an opportunity to reflect on the fond memories, relationships and causes that are important to you.
After you have made provision for your family and loved ones, there are a number of ways (listed in this brochure) that you can leave a lasting gift for girls’ education at Lowther Hall Anglican Grammar School.
The Lowther Hall Society honours and recognises those special members of our community who during their lifetime have chosen to leave a bequest in their Will in support of the School.
Members of the Lowther Hall Society share a very special bond, not only with each other but with the School, and maintain an ongoing connection with us through regular personalised invitations to events and activities. Their generosity is recognised on an honour board in the Mansion which holds the names of individuals who have informed us of their intention to remember Lowther Hall through a bequest.
A bequest to the Lowther Hall and Earlsbrae Building Trust helps to fund important capital works and infrastructure and provides Lowther Hall Anglican Grammar School the opportunity to offer a modern and purpose-built learning environment. Donations to this fund are tax-deductible.
A bequest to the Lowther Hall Foundation and Endowment Trust will enable the School to apply funds to areas of greatest need and is an investment into the long-term future of Lowther Hall. Gifts made to the endowment trust are invested and the interest generated from these investments is used for projects at the School, as identified through the Strategic Plan. Donations to this fund are tax-deductible.
A bequest to the Lowther Hall Scholarship Trust will enable us to continue to offer vital scholarships that attract a range of motivated and talented students. A key direction highlighted in our Strategic Plan is a range of scholarships to be offered to indigenous students and students from refugee backgrounds. Donations to this fund are tax-deductible.
A donation to the Lowther Hall Library Trust will ensure that students of all ages have access to not only the latest and most up-to-date books, but resources and research tools that service the provision of education across the wide range of subjects offered at Lowther Hall. This includes resources required for Science, Food Studies, and Visual Arts. Donations to this fund are tax-deductible.
A bequest to the Lowther Hall Education and Awards Trust ensures the continuation and ongoing commitment of the School to recognise, reward and support girls who exhibit exceptional effort, service and/or academic merit at a variety of year levels.
