St George’s College and the SAS Resources Trust are combining together on Saturday 10th October 2015 for a day of interest and enjoyment at the College.

Australian SAS members constantly live a life of risk and hardship with their families facing personal and financial challenges in the event of a death.  The SAS Resources Trust was developed to ‘stand in the shoes of fathers lost in battle’ as described by The Hon. Peter Blaxell, Chairman of the Trust.

The funds raised at SpringArts will be used to enable children of deceased SAS members to attend the College whilst studying at UWA.  The College can provide some of the educational, social and pastoral support such as would normally be provided by a father supportive of their UWA attending daughter or son.

The activities on the day will include an SAS Historical display and talks from former SAS officers.  The “Midday Live Set” featuring resident musicians and vocalists, including the College Barbershop “Newby Blues” and the College Ladies Ensemble “The Mockingbirds”, plus piano performances in the Hackett Dining Hall.  The College Chapel will be the venue for the College String Quartet and Harpist.  There will be regular tours of the Gardens and College and opportunities to climb the famous Tower which has views over the Swan River and University.  An art exhibition will also feature residents’ art in the form of drawings, paintings, film, sculpture and photography.  There will be pizzas, gourmet hot dogs, ice cream and drinks for purchase.

We encourage everyone, of all ages, to join us on this great day of inspiration, activities and fun so you can visit, explore and discover what life is like in this ‘castle’.

Entry is $10.00 per person (under 18 free of charge).  For more information visit their website https://stgeorgescollege.com.au/functions-and-meetings/springarts-2015/ , or call 9449 5555.
