Melbourne High School Foundation

The Melbourne High School Foundation is the School’s fundraising organisation. Through its trusts and funds, the Foundation provides unique opportunities for donors, including parents, past students, businesses, and philanthropists, to support the education and wellbeing of students, improve the buildings and infrastructure and support the delivery of arts and cultural programs at the School. Visit the website to find out more about how you can support the leaders of tomorrow. Below are details of the Foundation’s individual Trusts: • The General Trust promotes and manages bequests, endowments, and donations to enable MHS to provide high-quality camps and excursions, sports programs, equipment and facilities, vocational training opportunities, and activities that enrich the educational experience at MHS. • The Scholarship Trust provides funds for scholarships, bursaries, and prizes, giving much-needed assistance to students who would struggle to meet the basic costs of education. • The Arts and Cultural Trust raises funds to promote and support the Arts within the School, the City of Stonnington and the wider community. Areas of interest are music, media and theatre studies, studio arts, visual communication design, and Aboriginal and cultural heritage. • The Health Promotion Trust focuses on programs that support the physical and emotional wellbeing of all the School’s staff and students. • The Future Fund is unrestricted, enabling MHS Foundation to build financial stability and respond to the school’s most pressing needs. The Foundation also supports fundraising for the MHS Building and Library Funds. All donations, excluding contributions to the General Trust, are tax-deductible.
