2021 Scholarships - Years 4 & 5

A limited number of scholarships are now available for entry into Year 4 and Year 5 in 2021. These scholarships are designed to give more students the opportunity of a King David education. Thanks to a generous bequest from Sonia & Don Marejn, we are able to offer a number of scholarships specifically to enable students in upper primary currently attending government schools to get ready for secondary schooling.

Don Marejn had a love of learning, of Israel, and of all things Jewish.  As a result of the privations, losses and exclusions he himself suffered and their effects witnessed in others, he had deep concern for the vulnerable in society and assisted many different charitable organisations during his life.

This Scholarship is available to new students entering Year 4 or Year 5 at The King David School in 2021 to the conclusion of Year 6 2023 / 2024.
