The Scots Community Foundation • Expression of Interest
We are seeking expressions of interest from current families who would like to play a role in supporting the work of The Scots Community Foundation.
Thank you for your interest in joining The Scots Community Foundation.
As The Scots School Albury continues to honour its proud heritage while looking confidently to the future, the role of The Scots Community Foundation has never been more important. The Foundation exists to support the long-term growth of the School through philanthropy, community engagement and the creation of opportunities that benefit current and future generations of Scots students.
Looking ahead, 2026 will mark a significant milestone — 160 years of Scots contributing to the fabric of the Albury community. This milestone coincides with the opening of our new Junior School and future planning to enhance facilities and programs, ensuring Scots remains well-positioned for continued growth and excellence.
The Foundation plays a vital role in supporting these aspirations. Through scholarships, facilities, programs and community initiatives, Foundation members help strengthen the School’s capacity to deliver an outstanding educational experience.
As a member of The Scots Community Foundation, you will contribute to shaping opportunities for students, strengthening community engagement and supporting philanthropic initiatives aligned with the School’s strategic priorities. Your insight, networks and commitment will help ensure Scots continues to thrive for generations to come.
We are seeking individuals who share a passion for education, community and the future of Scots, and who are willing to contribute their expertise and perspective in support of the Foundation’s work.
I look forward to the possibility of working alongside you as we continue to build a vibrant and sustainable future for The Scots School Albury.
