A Common Good

The Junior Common Room is a symbol of something that’s so central to College life – community.

The Junior Common Room (JCR) was built in 1922 and is the hub for student-led activities. As the venue for Smokos, debates, speech nights and informal gatherings, the JCR is where memories are made.

We want to give the JCR and the Quad some love this year and make them fit for a broader range of purposes. We’ll upgrade the cafe and kitchen facilities to allow for late night meal preparation which is particularly helpful during exams, and remove fixed furnishing to make the space more adaptable.

JCR events often spill out into the Quad. With subtle upgrades to the Quad landscaping, we’ll be able to accommodate more people there, too. We’d like to install decking and communal tables beneath the trees. We’d love to welcome more members of our community – students, alumni and visitors alike – to this beautiful heritage space.

Amidst the constant battle against emergency stonework repairs and campus upkeep, this project is beyond the reach of the College’s limited funds for capital works, but its completion would be a game-changer for the Ormond experience, donate now.

Goal $300,000

Ormond College Students' Club Scholarship

Help a current student be a leader in the Ormond community

The Ormond College Students’ Club (OCSC) is the centre of student life. It is the driving force behind the Ormond experience and allows students to create and lead an impressive range of activities.

College fees are high and sometimes financial circumstances get in the way of great Ormond students returning for a second or third year. When this happens, it’s a huge loss to the whole Ormond community – especially when those students have the potential to be student leaders.

The OCSC Scholarship Fund is a special scholarship for students who are already making significant contributions to the Students’ Club and the College, and need significant financial support.

The OCSC scholarship is administered by the College and distributed through Ormond’s Financial Assistance program, donate now.

Goal $150,000

AG-OCSC: OCSC Scholarship

Donations of $2 or more to Ormond College are tax deductible for Australian tax payers.

“I’m so grateful for the opportunity to come here. I hope more students like me will be welcomed in years to come.”

Max Hepperlin – OCSC Treasurer – Bachelor of Arts, Alex Lyne Educational Trust Scholarship
