Introducing The IGS Foundation
The IGS Foundation is a long-term investment in our School’s bold vision of Unity Through Diversity and our mission to equip every student to be world-ready through languages and a culture of excellence.
By bringing together IGS’s philanthropic initiatives, The Foundation creates a clear and inspiring way for our community and major donors to invest in the future of the School. Your support strengthens our ability to:
- Offer life-changing scholarships, including a deep and ongoing commitment to First Nations students
- Create innovative and inspiring spaces for learning
- Sustain the global perspective and bilingual education at the heart of IGS
On Thursday 13 November 2025, we came together for Giving Day to officially launch The IGS Foundation and Shine the Light Forward. Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to this important milestone.
Indigenous Scholarship Fund
At the heart of The IGS Foundation is our commitment to life-changing scholarships and to First Nations students through the Indigenous Scholarship Fund. Your support helps provide an IGS education for local Indigenous children, sustains our K–12 Program, and enriches our community by sharing this rich and beautiful culture. All donations are fully tax deductible.

Library Fund
A gift to the Library Fund will allow our librarians to ensure they have the latest books and digital resources, in both the Primary and High School Libraries, to support and enhance our students’ limitless learning. The Libraries provide strong literacy programs, with a wide variety of fiction, to encourage a love of reading. We pride ourselves on empowering students to develop critical thinking and information skills in a collaborative environment. All donations are fully tax deductible.

Community Giving
After a five-year pause, the IGS Colour Run made its triumphant return to Wentworth Oval, marking the first time since 2019 the event has taken place.
Beyond the clouds of colour, the event held a deeper meaning. Students ran for two causes — the Indigenous Scholarship Fund and the Building Fund. In a proud moment for the School, the Colour Run met its fundraising target raising over $40k with Kuyal leading the way, raising the most money of all houses.
Special thanks to The Zeritis Family and Zeina Tebbutt for their very generous donations, and to Professor Allan Snyder FRS and family for matching the total amount raised with exceptional generosity.
