Impact so far...

The significant donations made to the UK Trust during the Giving Day has been put to work in the Trust’s investment portfolio and has ensured that the Trust can continue to support a boy in each Block for the foreseeable future. It also takes us a step closer to growing this support beyond the five boys that are currently supported at any one time. If you’d like to contribute to the UK Trust, see details on page 40.

Donations raised during the Giving Day have contributed to a further 250kWp of solar panels on campus that will increase our total solar panel capacity to 500kWp. These will be constructed over the coming year and will significantly contribute to optimising the effectiveness of the soon-to-be installed 1.25-1.5MWh battery farm. This significant investment signifies a big step towards energy independence for the Michaelhouse Estate, If you’d like to contribute to sustainabiliy projects, see details on page 40.
