About
On 1 January 2024 we celebrated and marked ten years of outstanding leadership at Barker College from our 9th Head, Mr Phillip Heath AM.
This year, to mark and celebrate the numerous achievements, the significant developments and the inclusive opportunities that have been a hallmark of Phillip Heath’s tenure to date, the Barker Foundation has launched the ‘Make Your Mark’ Appeal.
Initiatives and programs that will be supported by the Make Your Mark Appeal include:
- Transformational scholarships for deserving children of all backgrounds
- Indigenous education initiatives
- Bursaries to support existing Barker students in need
This appeal offers a unique opportunity for individuals, families, sporting teams, alumni years, or co-curricular groups, to mark this milestone with a personalised engraved plaque positioned in either the Rosewood Centre seating, or the Blackwell Stand – two locations that are synonymous with Phillip Heath’s masterplan vision for Barker.
Your enduring gift of $10,000 will allow us to honour you and your family for many generations and can be made as a one-off donation or as a pledge over three years. A very limited number of larger $50,000 plaques are also being made available.
You will have the opportunity to choose where you would like your plaque to be placed within the seating area of the Rosewood Centre or the Blackwell Stand.
Everyone can be a part of this milestone campaign and every contribution is appreciated. If you would like to donate directly to support Scholarships and Bursaries without buying a plaque, please visit the Barker website – Donate Today and select ‘Future Fund’ from the drop down options.
We invite you to partner with the Barker Foundation to mark and celebrate ten outstanding years of leadership at Barker College.
All gifts of $2 or more to the Barker Future Fund are fully tax deductible.
