Wingaru Public Fundraising Campaign
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I participate in the Wingaru campaign?
The College is well managed financially and makes long-term plans for future capital works, including staged investments guided by our 30-year masterplan. Philanthropic support from the community allows the College to activate these plans at a rate of change not otherwise possible.
Wingaru and other projects within the College’s masterplan are made possible through the current financial modelling of the College along with philanthropic income. No Commonwealth or State funding is provided for capital works or the development of College facilities. Future construction relies on generous community support, including major giving, voluntary contributions to the building fund, annual gifts and bequests.

Since the earliest days of the Society of Jesus, Jesuits sought to embrace the humanistic approach to education – affirming the good where it could be found and drawing inspiration from the insights of Christian humanism and contemporary scientific thinking at the time.
