Giving

Since its earliest days, our School has been shaped by the generosity of those who believed in its future.

In 1919, four years after the School opened with just fourteen students, founding Principal, Reverend Sydney Buckley’s vision to expand Ivanhoe Grammar School and purchase the property on which Ridgeway Campus now stands was made possible through the support of the community. That act established a tradition which continues to define Ivanhoe Grammar School today – a shared belief in the value of investing in the generations who follow.
