Every member of the Witherby Tower Society shares a simple but powerful commitment: to connect their own life story with the future of others. Through a gift in their Will, they have chosen to extend the values and opportunities they have cherished, to secure new possibilities for current and future students.
This year I began my tenure as Chair of the Witherby Tower Society Committee and have been truly inspired by the many stories of generosity from throughout our community – acts of foresight that prove why education is never the work of one generation alone.
For me, this is what makes gifts in Wills so special, and a reminder that what unites us is not the size of our gift, but the intent behind it.
Every commitment – large or small – helps shape opportunities for future generations. These promises create scholarships that change lives, sustain the strength of our teaching, and ensure that the education we offer continues to inspire young people to contribute meaningfully to society.
Thank you sincerely, to every member of the Witherby Tower Society, and especially to the new members we accepted in 2025. Thanks to you, Melbourne Grammar School remains a place where young people are nurtured to grow in confidence, compassion and character, and where education continues to create extraordinary possibilities.

Chair, Witherby Tower Society Committee
