Philanthropic Sponsorships
Independent Schools are built not by governments but
through the generosity of committed individuals who
see the value in supporting education to specific sections
of the community.
King David has been blessed in the past to have had
a number of major donors who have enabled it to grow
to where it is today, unfortunately these outstanding
individuals have passed on and the responsibility for
supporting the school passes to another generation.
With plans to upgrade the facilities and both Magid
and Southwick Campuses the School requires and additional
$20 million over the next 10 years. In addition it still
has to reduce the level of debt that has accumulated
as a result of the development of the Magid Institute.
The School invites donations from members of the School
and wider community towards a range of facilities and
programs encompassing the following areas;
Buildings
Library
Sports
Performing Arts
Scholarships
For further information on making a gift to the School
please call Michael Lynn (Business Manager), The King
David School on 9291 7925 or email busman@kds.vic.edu.au
