Leave a Legacy with a Gift in Your Will
After ensuring your loved ones are cared for, we invite you to consider leaving a bequest to Brisbane Grammar School. This powerful gift will ensure that future generations of boys’ benefit from the same exceptional education that has shaped the lives of so many. Whether large or small, every contribution plays a vital role in continuing the legacy of Brisbane Grammar and ensuring its future success.
The process of making a Will is about ensuring that the people and causes you hold dear are cared for in the way you wish. As well as family and friends, it is fitting to remember institutions and activities that have been important to you. By including a bequest to Brisbane Grammar School, you will leave a lasting impact on the future of our students and their education—an investment that honours your connection to the School.

To ensure that your Will fulfils your intentions and that it is legally sound, it is essential that it be drawn by a solicitor or Trustee Company. The School is not legally authorised to provide advice.
We are able to provide some suggested wording for including a bequest in your Will or as a codicil to an existing one. We kindly encourage you to inform us of your intention to leave a bequest, so we can demonstrate our appreciation for your generosity and keep you informed about developments at the School. Donors who leave a gift in their will become members of the Great Hall Society.
If you’d like to learn more about becoming a member of the Great Hall Society or making a bequest, please reach out to Lou Gardiner for a confidential conversation.

Your legacy is one of the most powerful gifts you can leave behind. It’s a reflection of your values, the memories you cherish, and the impact you want to make.”
