For some families, school fees put a Catholic education out of reach. The Mary MacKillop Bursary Fund exists so that cost is never the reason a child misses out.
This year, bursaries supported by Catholic Foundation donors covered fees, uniforms and books for children across Brisbane, Ipswich and the Gold Coast.
Teachers tell us the difference is clear: children who feel they belong, learn with confidence and grow in faith alongside their classmates.
