About their Support
In June 2011, Sydney’s prestigious Scots College launched the “Gift of Education Fund” with the purpose of providing disadvantaged young people with educational opportunities at Oasis.
Scots has been supporting Oasis since 2011 to raise funds for vital programs and services that assist at-risk and homeless young people in Sydney’s inner city. The annual Cranbrook and Scots Rugby and Soccer games are now played for The Oasis Cup.
“As an institution of learning and a community who value education, Scots is committed to partnering with these young people in turning their dreams into reality,” said Dr Ian PM Lambert, Principal of The Scots College.
“As a school and community, we place great emphasis on ‘giving back’. Scots boys are blessed with opportunities and skills that many young people on the street may never experience. They feel a great sense of gratitude for all that they have, and enjoy harnessing their talents to serve others in need.”
Throughout the school year, the Scots community also undertakes additional fundraising activities to benefit Oasis; including hosting The Oasis film night and rallying a Scots team of dedicated College students and parents to run for Oasis at the Blackmore’s Sydney Running Festival, City2Surf and getting students to jump on their couch for The Couch Project.
