We honour the history of Lauries and help to build the future with every gift we give.
Annual Appeal 2026
In 2026, the College once again invites the Lauries community and friends beyond our gates to participate in the Annual Appeal—an opportunity to support two important, tax-deductible entities at the heart of our mission.
Families, Old Boys, staff and supporters are warmly encouraged to contribute their best gift to causes that reflect their passions and priorities.
Donations to the St Laurence’s Old Boys’ Foundation directly support students on the margins—young people who, without the generosity of others, would not have access to a Lauries education. Contributions to the St Laurence’s College Building Fund in 2026 will be directed towards the construction of new grandstands at the Runcorn Sporting Fields, a valuable enhancement to the significant works currently underway.
Further information about each organisation, along with donation links, is provided below.
On behalf of the students and staff of the College, thank you for your considered and generous support.
St Laurence’s College has a rich history of giving, inspired by the founding brothers in 1915.
Currently, the College has charities with DGR status that members of the community and beyond can contribute to. These two entities fall under the banner of 'The Lauries Giving Program' and include the St Laurence's Old Boys' Foundation and the St Laurence's College Building Fund. Further information on both of these impactful charities can be found below.
St Laurence's Old Boys' Foundation
The St Laurence’s Old Boys’ Foundation was developed to assist disadvantaged and marginalised boys obtain an education at St Laurence’s. Since its establishment in 1988, the Old Boys’ Foundation has donated $1,000,000 to the College, reaching this amazing milestone in 2025. These funds directly assist with the educational costs of financially disadvantaged students and ensure they receive their own Lauries Journey.

St Laurence's College Building Fund
The College Building Fund is a tax-deductible fund that provides for projected and ongoing capital works in addition to the maintenance of buildings and facilities at the College. As part of the Annual Appeals each year, funds raised through the Building Fund are contributed to projects of impact within the College.
Commemorative opportunities also exist with members of the community invited to secure a commemorative plaque in the Chapel of St Laurence O’Toole. Honour a loved one, commemorate your son/s graduation (or your own) or preserve your family name for a $300 gift to the Building Fund. Please note, all commemorative plaques are not tax-deductible.
