Building Challenge

Building an even better school and YOUR brick counts!

We are always building at Merewether High - building knowledge, building culture, building resilience and building success. Our students are challenged to extend themselves and we, as educators, support them on this journey.

Just as we extend their learning, we are also committed to providing new facilities and resources that also extend beyond the average. As part of our Strategic Improvement Plan and belief in continuous improvement we have a vision of the extra resources and facilities needed for our current and future students - facilities that will provide spaces that optimise teaching and learning as well as student motivation and development.

We receive most of our funding from the NSW State Government as well as grants from the Commonwealth Government. Recently, and gratefully, we were awarded a $100,000 NSW Government grant to install air-conditioning in 30 classrooms and upgrade our electrical infrastructure.

This is fantastic news and the result of passionate work by our dedicated staff who prepared a detailed and persuasive application. But we can do even better!!

We can raise more money to air-condition every classroom and install more solar panels to ensure they operate on renewable energy ... with your generosity, brick by brick or panel by panel!!

So please buy a 'brick' today and add your name, permanently, to the history of Merewether High School.

Every brick in our fundraising wall, like every student and every family, matters. The amount is not important ... what matters is our collective spirit and sense of belonging, our belief in education and progress.

Over the last 10 years our key self-funded building projects were the Independent Learning Centre, Senior Study Centre and Outdoor Learning Booths - and as you can see, they have been embraced by our students and significantly improve our learning spaces.

Pick whichever 'brick' suits your budget and situation, they are sincerely equally valued by our staff and students. Your brick, embossed with your surname will be added to our fundraising wall, connecting you forever to our community of generous benefactors!
