Ways of Giving
Since the School’s establishment in 1847, St Peter’s College has been sustained by selfless and inspiring acts of generosity. This culture of giving is at the heart of the St Peter’s College Foundation, which, established in 1985, is the School’s primary philanthropic and fundraising body. It exists to foster and grow a culture of philanthropy that supports the current and future priorities of the School through the provision of new and improved educational and learning facilities. The Foundation also provides scholarships for promising and compassionate students regardless of circumstance.
As school fees and government grants alone do not provide for the advancement of the School, St Peter’s College relies on the Foundation. Together we can make a difference to the lives of current and future students and assist the School in achieving its vision to be an exceptional community of learning.
Whether you choose to support a life changing opportunity for a student through the Scholarship Fund, ensure the future integrity of our teaching and learning programs through the Building Fund, help preserve our rich history through the Museum Fund or provide dynamic learning environments through the Library Fund, your generosity is greatly appreciated.
Alternatively, a Gift in Will can leave a lasting legacy and have a profound impact on the lives of current and future students. Donors who choose to leave a Gift in Will are welcomed as a Member of the Founders’ Circle which honours your bequest during your lifetime and gives you a unique opportunity to develop a closer relationship with the School.

Governors’ Scholarship | GT Cotton Bursary
The GT Cotton Bursary, part of the SPSC Governors’ Scholarship program, supports one means-tested student from the West Coast, Eyre Peninsula or Yorke Peninsula to attend St Peter’s College in Years 10 to 12.
Established in memory of old scholar Graham Tilney Cotton (WDK 1957), the bursary honours his legacy and connection to both the School and regional South Australia.
Through supporting the St Peter’s College Museum Fund, donors can invest in the School’s future by preserving its past.
Archives and museums act as memory institutions, or witnesses to the past. They provide evidence of activities and tell stories of the past. They also help give a sense of identity and understanding of cultures. The St Peter’s College Archives are a significant and valuable collection of cultural heritage which is cared for in an environment that understands their importance as their connection to the School.
Assist the School in providing dynamic learning that responds to the changing needs of a new generation of scholars.
Our libraries are welcoming and flexible learning environments that are critical for student achievement. They also provide a social space to meet, collaborate, research and share.
