Outback Achievers
In 1994, St Philip’s launched its national Outback Achievers Appeal to raise funds for the development of facilities at the College. Fred McKay was Patron of the Appeal, and his friend Dr Bruce Reid was Chairman. Each year the College has an Annual Fund mail-out to its extended community, asking for support to assist with maintaining, upgrading and building new facilities. All donations to the building fund are tax deductible. Please call the Development Office on (08) 8950 4577.
