The Sumner Ferrymead Foundation is celebrating 30 years serving the local community, and to mark the occasion they are offering grants to groups, clubs, and organisations within the Foundations catchment area. There are four grants valued at $5000 each and one at $10,000.

For the first time in the Sumner Ferrymead Foundation’s 30 year history, two siblings were recipients of grants in the latest funding round. Gabriella and Jeremy Hawke, a promising ballet dancer and an aspiring surfer respectively, both received funds to support their respective careers.

Last year’s Year 8 students are making the transition to high school with excitement and a little bit of trepidation. Their parents are thinking about the transition too because it’s not an inexpensive exercise with need for new uniforms and new technology that the foundation is pleased to assist with.
