Annual Giving Appeal

Each year the community is invited to contribute to Walford projects by making a one-off donation. The generosity of Old Scholars, past and current parents, past and current staff, grandparents and friends of the school, helps to make a real difference, as we fulfil the aspirations of the Walford Strategic Plan, and enable present and future generations to enjoy and celebrate all that has been achieved throughout history.

On the Walford Giving Day, supporters are encouraged to make an online donation over a 24 hour campaign towards a designated project and a selected target. Donations are also accepted following the Giving Day and throughout the year.

In 2021, the Giving Day and The Heart of Walford project was promoted through a four-part video series which portrayed the project though the eyes of a Reception student, with light humour and overwhelming enthusiasm! The positive response to the video promotion has been outstanding.

The next Giving Day is planned for June 2022. We are most grateful to our community for their loyal support and advocacy.

Building Fund

Your donation will contribute to providing outstanding teaching and learning facilities for our students to achieve their best.

The current appeal, The Heart of Walford, will provide a new studio theatre, specifically designed for our talented drama students and also for performances, within the Helen Reid Hall complex.

With the removal of the Old Hall, the space will be opened up as a beautiful outdoor oasis, with landscaped gardens with seating and decorative features for the enjoyment of our students and Walford community, creating a new heart of the School.

Your donation is tax deductible.

Library Fund

Your donation will contribute toward the continuing development of our Junior and Middle/Senior School libraries through the funding of resources and learning materials.

Bequests

For many people who are unable to contribute to school projects in their lifetime, there is the opportunity to make a bequest to the Walford Foundation Inc. One of the most meaningful ways of supporting Walford is to include a gift in your Will. Please contact the Principal if you wish to discuss this further and to plan for the purpose and acknowledgement of the bequest. Your enquiry will be in confidence.

Memorial and Naming Gifts

Gifts are received to recognise achievements of Old Scholars and leaders at Walford and throughout its history. These highly-valued gifts contribute towards the culture and academic reputation of Walford and may be recognised to name scholarships, parts of buildings, a building or specific aspects of facility.
