St James College

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our St James College community and a generous St James alumnus, we have successfully reached our matched funding goal.

We are so grateful to everyone who contributed and helped make this campaign such a success. Your generosity will provide practical support to students and families experiencing financial hardship, helping with essentials such as uniforms, school lunches, camps, excursions, and other opportunities that enable young people to fully participate in college life.

While the matched funding campaign has now concluded, donations to the St James College Endowment Fund are still warmly welcomed.

Right now, many of our families continue to face significant financial challenges. Parents sit in my office sharing their struggles to afford the basics. Ongoing support from our community ensures students have access to the resources, experiences and opportunities that help them thrive, belong and reach their potential.

Through a bursary, you help ensure that our young people can simply be teenagers – participating alongside their peers, building confidence, and embracing every opportunity without financial barriers.

Every gift, no matter the size, continues to make a meaningful difference.

Donate today and help create opportunities for the next generation of St James students.

About the St James College Bursary Endowment and Faithful Friends Funds
Since St James College opened in 1868, ‘Jimmies’ as the college is affectionately known, has welcomed students from an array of cultural, socio-economic, and academic backgrounds.

The St James College Bursary Endowment Fund is a tax-deductible perpetual fund that will provide long term support for students who are experiencing challenging financial circumstances. This fund invests your gift in a bursary endowment and each year the earnings generated provides funds for students to obtain an enriched Catholic education that would otherwise be beyond reach. Your gift remains in perpetuity and keeps on providing year after year.

The Faithful Friends Fund is designed to provide immediate and much-needed resources for students in challenging circumstances. The fund covers the day-to-day operational costs of laptops, excursions, immersions, school uniforms, and transport.
