Community Raffle

For nearly 130 years, St Columba’s College has been educating and inspiring young women to lead lives of courage, compassion and purpose. Located on its original site in Essendon, the College is home to more than 1,000 students and is supported by a vibrant community of families, alumnae, staff and friends who share a commitment to education, service and belonging. Our Parent Engagement Committee plays an important role in strengthening these connections, creating opportunities for families to come together while supporting initiatives that enrich College life for every student.

Every year, the College community comes together through a range of events and fundraising initiatives that celebrate connection and generosity. The Parent Engagement Committee Raffle is one of these opportunities, bringing together local businesses and our school community in a shared effort to create memorable experiences while raising funds that directly benefit our students. It is a celebration of community spirit, where every contribution, large or small, helps make a meaningful difference.

2026 Community Raffle

This year, the Parent Engagement Committee is raising funds to create a vibrant new student play and wellbeing space, anchored by permanent, weatherproof table tennis tables. Designed to bring more movement, laughter and connection into the school day, the space will give students an accessible place to play, compete, unwind and spend time with friends during recess and lunchtime.

More than simply a recreation space, this project is an investment in everyday student wellbeing – encouraging healthy play, positive social connection and a stronger sense of belonging. With your support, we can create a welcoming, student-focused space where students can move, recharge and connect beyond the classroom.
