Philanthropy has always played an essential role at CGGS. The CGGS community’s culture of giving is infused throughout its history and continues to be profoundly connected to the spirit of our founders, the Community of the Sisters of the Church.
At the heart of our remarkable journey is the Gabriel Foundation, a longstanding testament to vision, commitment and generosity. The foresight and dedication of its founding and subsequent Board Members have not only shaped the School as it stands today, but continues to carry the torch of the spirit first ignited at St Gabriel’s in 1926.
Under the leadership of Belinda Moss OAM, the core mission of the Gabriel Foundation has remained unwavering: to manage, raise and grow funds that directly benefit the CGGS community. These funds enhance the educational experiences of our students and support initiatives that foster academic excellence, a deep sense of community and that provide broader access to a CGGS education.
The Gabriel Foundation is not just about sustaining the School—it is about ensuring that every student who walks through our doors has the resources and opportunities to reach their full potential.
As we embark on our next century, we look back at the incredible journey of the Foundation, from its inception, to the present and beyond.
The creation of the Gabriel Foundation continues to strengthen the School community by advancing educational opportunities, furthering the tradition of philanthropy and being an exemplar in our culture of
giving and service.
The foresight, commitment and expertise of this group of people has forever changed the trajectory of CGGS by securing its long-term development. Additional to the benefits of generating growth through investment, the Gabriel Foundation is grateful for the generosity of past and present students and their families, as well as the many friends of CGGS who have become long term donors to the School. Because of the commitment of donors, bequests and the contribution of many families over many years, the corpus of funds has increased and the Gabriel Foundation has sustained its commitment to be of benefit to the wellbeing and learning of the students and staff of CGGS.
Further to safeguarding the School’s financial position, the desire to increase philanthropic support was always a collective aspiration of the Gabriel Foundation. Underpinned by the following framework of giving priorities, the foundation seeks to inspire donations both big and small, for the most profound impact.
As we head towards our Centenary in 2026, the entire School community pays tribute and is grateful for the far-reaching legacy of the Gabriel Foundation that will echo across generations to come.
