Make a gift. Change a life.
Thanks to the generosity of our community, we have been able to fund Access and Equity Scholarships for students who have exceptional potential but without the means to attend a school like Carey.
Sarah Pe's parents came to Australia as refugees, looking for a better life for themselves and their future children. Sarah was granted an Access and Equity Scholarship to attend Carey in Year 10 to 12, which she describes as the reason she became a nurse after she graduated in 2018.
'The scholarship meant so much to me. It gave me a chance to really believe in myself. I've always had the capability, but Carey gave me the confidence,' Sarah says.
