Our First EGGS Giving Day

Double the Impact, Double the Spirit

 

Friday 10 October 2025 marked a milestone moment for Epsom Girls Grammar School with the launch of our very first EGGS Giving Day — and what an incredible day it was!

For 12 hours our school community came together with one goal: to raise money and double our impact in growing women of great character. Every donation made during the day was matched dollar-for-dollar by generous matching donors, and our community rose to the challenge with enthusiasm, creativity, and heart.

Students dressed in navy and gold mufti, enjoyed treats from a bake sale and sausage sizzle, and contributed to the Giving Tree. Talented students filled the quad with music throughout the lunch break, creating a lively, celebratory atmosphere for everyone.

Behind the scenes, the EGGS Giving Day headquarters buzzed with energy as volunteers worked the phones and cheered every milestone.

The day kicked off at 8.00am with an ambitious goal of $80,000, and our EGGS community didn’t just meet it, they smashed it! Thanks to our matching donors, we entered a Bonus Round, raising our target to an incredible $140,000. Despite adding $60,000, we surpassed that too, raising more than $145,000.

This extraordinary response is a testament to the strength, generosity, and unity of our community. Together, we’ve shown the difference we can make when we unite behind a shared purpose.

Funds raised through Giving Day will help lay the foundations for a stronger, more connected future for Epsom Girls Grammar School — supporting our students to excel, our teachers to inspire, and our campus to grow in ways that match our ambitions.

A huge thank you to everyone who played a part — our generous donors, tireless volunteers, spirited students and staff, and our wider community who helped spread the word.
