Giving Day 2023

Imagine a farm that grows so much more than produce. Where world-class agricultural and other learning experiences take place at the heart of a thriving community. This is the exciting evolution of the new Sturt Grove Farm, and you can help us make it a reality!

The new Sturt Grove Farm will be something every student, from ELC to Year 12, and community member will benefit from. A place that teaches students the importance of sustainable agriculture, and how technology, science, and design support this industry, and ultimately fosters a sense of connection to the natural world. And a space where our thriving community can come together to celebrate and contribute to this unique development.

Our vision for the Farm is centred around a new Community Farm Shed which will incorporate:

• Three multidisciplinary classrooms
• Outdoor learning spaces
• Well-equipped wet labs
• Facilities for viticulture, agriculture, and aquaculture
• Produce processing area and farm kitchen
• Shearing facilities
• Washdown zone
• Farm shop
• Community garden and other outdoor community spaces

We are asking you, as a valued member of our community, to support this exciting project where every donation you make will be QUADRUPLED.

This year’s Giving Day campaign marks the start of this priority project, and with your help, we can reach our goal of $500,000 to begin construction as soon as possible.

So how does this work? We have generous funding partners who have committed to matching every gift to FOUR times its original value.

No matter the size, every gift will make a difference and, if over $2, will be tax deductible in Australia. For your gift of $500 or more, we would like to thank you for your generous support by recording your name and/or a name of your choosing in a highly visible installation within the Sturt Grove Farm. You can choose a level of plaque (or more than one plaque) to reflect your gift, as per the following:

$500 Bronze Supporter (standard size)
$1,000 Silver Supporter (large size)
$2,000 Gold Supporter (extra-large size)

Join us on Giving Day, Thursday 15 June 2023 to help us reimagine Sturt Grove Farm. If you choose to donate prior to Giving Day, your gift will still be matched and entered on your behalf into the growing tally.

Help us to make our dream of Cultivating Community possible through the Sturt Grove Farm.
