"School of Mine" – the rousing opening line of our school song, is now also a call to action to our Aloysian Family to help secure the future of the College.
A century-long tradition of philanthropy
Throughout its history, St Aloysius’ College has relied upon the generosity of our community to help advance our mission to form young men of faith and service – men for others.
This generosity has funded major building works, enabled us to keep school fees lower by excluding any mandatory building fund component and enabled thousands of young men from disadvantaged backgrounds to access a Jesuit education through the College’s Bursary Program.
The School of Mine Campaign has an ambitious goal of raising $20M through tax-deductible donations to the College Foundation. Fundraising efforts are well under way and more than half of these funds have already been raised.
The School of Mine Campaign now calls upon the current generation of Aloysian families, at a pivotal time in the history of St Aloysius’, to fund the most substantial building works to be undertaken in the past 50 years at our Upper Pitt Street Campus; and to fund new bursaries for gifted boys of potential whose families would never have imagined an Aloysian formation possible.

Our Inspiration and Vision
Our Progress
Buildings
Transforming the Upper Pitt Street Campus
Redevelopment of our Upper Pitt Street Campus in Milsons Point will be the most significant building works completed over the past 50 years, providing contemporary learning spaces and a sustainable, optimal environment for our boys.
Improving learning environments for our boys
These building works are a major component of the College’s Master Plan – Plan Magis and integral to our Human Excellence strategy.
Accordingly, the plans to redevelop and revitalise Years 7 to 10 facilities at the Upper Pitt Street Campus are designed to engage and challenge our students to pursue excellence in all that they do.
How are we doing this?
In the Jesuit tradition, we will continue to accommodate, adapt and embrace the best of modern education and blend them with our heritage and traditions – to ensure that our boys learn the essence of Ignatian spirituality: selfhood and relationships, compassion and a commitment to the growth of others.
"These new classrooms will enable high student engagement which, in turn, will improve educational outcomes, preparing students to act with purpose in our modern world."

Here's what the boys have to say...
Bursaries
Changing boys' lives
The Foundation Bursary Program enables boys from disadvantaged families to access an Aloysian education. This is a manifestation of our commitment, as a Jesuit school, to a faith that does justice.
This is life-changing
Together, we have the power to shape the future of young men from all over Sydney through life-changing Aloysian bursaries. As a Jesuit school, bursaries have been the lifeblood of our philanthropic effort since our establishment in 1879.
Over the past 143 years, St Aloysius’ has quietly gone about offering bursaries to thousands of boys, providing these young men with life-enhancing opportunities that they, and their families, may never have thought possible. These men have gone on to lead their lives empowered through Jesuit formation as men for others.
Preserving our mission and maintaining a diverse student body with a range of backgrounds, experiences and cultures, is vital to sustain the unique Aloysian experience and embrace the world beyond the Wyalla gates with confidence.
How our Bursary Program works
Importantly and intentionally, the College offers no talent-based scholarships. Instead, our efforts are directed to boys from financially challenged backgrounds – families that are low income, single-parent or refugee, as well as families impacted by long-term illness, or loss of income. Our bursaries are funded entirely through donations from the Aloysian Family – there is no cross-subsidy from school fees, no additional support from the government or from other sources. Each year we award close to $1 million in bursary support to scores of students and their families. These boys would not be able to attend St Aloysius’ College if it were not for the College Bursary Program and the wonderful generosity of the Aloysian Family. To sustain and grow the College Bursary Program, we once again turn to you, our Aloysian Family, for your generous support.
"The opportunity to attend St Aloysius’ College, through the generous support provided, was a pivotal moment for me and my family. It sent me on a trajectory in life that may have otherwise not been possible."
Professor Emeritus Sir Gustav Nossal (SAC 1947, Dux) AC CBE
