Heritage Foundation

The foresight, hard work and generosity of the Diocesan family, past and present enables our students to enjoy an enhanced educational environment. The Diocesan School Heritage Foundation (which is a charitable trust) was established to build and maintain a strong capital base to ensure the School’s long term independence and so to support and promote the development of personal best in every student. The School provides a very wide range of opportunities for students that go far beyond the standard school curriculum. Many special interest groups undertake fundraising for their own special projects and The Heritage Foundation provides an overarching framework to coordinate and assist these initiatives.

As Independent School rolls increase, the static Government funding effectively continues to decline on a per student basis. Tuition fees cover the operating budget of the School but many of the opportunities offered at Diocesan rely on the vision and generous support of past generations. To be able to continue to offer these opportunities requires a similar commitment from our present generation.
