Gifts in Wills

Your Gift. Their Future

Gifts in Wills are woven into the rich history and tapestry of Scotch and for over 100 years have had an immense impact on the young men and women in our care.

There are many examples of the impact of generous benefaction, including that of Alice McCaul whose gifts to the College in 1950 enabled the construction of many facilities across Torrens Park Campus, including tennis courts, a new physics laboratory and science lecture theatre. Over 70 years later, the McCaul Art Precinct recognises the generosity of Alice McCaul.

The bequest of Colin McBean (’29) in 1981 helped fund the McBean Centre which went on to serve our students and the Scotch community for years to come.

Gifts in Wills of all sizes also made a substantial contribution towards the Purruna Spencer Newton Centre.

The gifts of Senator Gordon Davidson CBE (’33) and Patricia Davidson in 2005, Colin and Alexandra Hamilton in 2016 and more recently the significant bequest of David Youl Freebairn (’50) have all created transformational scholarship opportunities for students who wouldn’t otherwise be able to attend the College.

The College is proud that the legacy of those and others who have gone before will live on in the hearts and minds of our community. No matter the size, a gift in your Will shall have an enduring impact on the College and help shape the educational future for generations of Scotch students.

If you have made provision for either the Scotch College Foundation or Scotch College Adelaide in your Will, we encourage you to notify us so we can invite you to become a custodian of the Gratton Society, better understand and honour your intentions, and allow us to extend our sincere gratitude.

If you would like to establish a lasting legacy at Scotch through a gift in your Will, please contact the Director of Philanthropy. All enquiries will be handled in the strictest confidence.
