Lowther Hall Foundation

Philanthropic support ensuring the very best learning environment for every Lowther Hall girl.

The Lowther Hall Anglican Grammar School Foundation is currently made up of over 350 individuals within our community who have demonstrated continued philanthropic support for the School, and who share the vision of ensuring the very best learning environment for every Lowther Hall girl.

Philanthropy

Why is support from the Lowther Hall Foundation vital for our future?

All school fees and available Government Grants paid to Lowther Hall directly support the day-to-day provision of exemplary education for our girls. Any development of the School's physical facilities; resources and learning technologies is directly (and only) supported by donations to the School's five Trust Funds. Foundation donations therefore ensure that our School can continue to provide not only modern and state-of-the-art facilities and resources, but that our future as a leading education provider remains secure.
