Building Fund

Our ‘Every Girl, Every Opportunity’ campaign encompasses numerous exciting, planned developments and refurbishment projects which continue our focus to provide exceptional school facilities that benefit all students. Donations to this campaign so far have assisted us in completing a new Senior Studies Centre, the addition of new classrooms on Circular Drive, refurbishment projects within the primary school and the Canopy Cafe – a new cafeteria and adjoining greenspace.

Our focus is now set on several future projects including the restoration of Community House, as well as other classroom and amenity upgrades.

These projects are vital components of ensuring that all St Margaret’s students have the same opportunities and learning experiences. We hope that you will join our growing donor community in supporting this campaign.

Introducing Community House

Make a donation to support the restoration of Community House – a beautiful heritage listed building on our Ascot Campus – the very first building the Sisters of the Society of the Sacred Advent (SSA) purchased for what would become one of Queensland’s leading schools. It is from these foundations that St Margaret’s flourished; sadly, however, this grand building has been underutilised since 2016.

Appropriately, once restored, Community House will become a student wellbeing centre for our students; a faithful application of the Sisters’ philosophy to educate and care for the whole child. The building will house the school psychologists and chaplain and become the centre of many student wellbeing activities. In addition, a dedicated space will honour the legacy of the SSA.

Our goal is to raise $250,000 in 2024 for this special project.

Please contact our Acting Director of Philanthropy and Stakeholder Engagement, Georgia Mitchell, if you would like any further information about this appeal or giving to St Margaret’s, by calling (07) 3862 0884 or email foundation@stmargarets.qld.edu.au.
