Together we can ensure that future generations of Highbury boys benefit from the same values, education, and lifelong friendships that have shaped so many before them. Make a difference, leave a legacy.
1. Fund a Highbury Bursary or Scholarship
Primary school lays the foundations for success, yet many talented boys are excluded from a quality education due to financial constraints. Through our Bursary Programme, Highbury is committed to opening doors for bright, talented, hardworking boys who would otherwise never have access to the opportunities our school provides. These bursaries have the power to transform the lives of these boys by raising their aspirations, creating possibilities, and shaping brighter futures.

2. Invest in the sustainability of the Highbury Estate
As the oldest school in the Upper Highway area, we are privileged with the largest estate. Our beautiful 11 hectare park-like property is an ideal place for boys to learn and grow, and deserves to be preserved for future generations. Maintenance of our historic buildings is required and we have space available to build exciting new facilities to enhance our school, ensuring it remains a world-class institution.
As the oldest primary school in the Upper Highway area, we are privileged to have a beautiful 11-hectare campus that deserves to be preserved for future generations. Schools such as ours rely on the generosity of our community and alumni to uphold the high standards set over the years. To maintain our historic buildings, enhance our facilities, and ensure Highbury remains a world-class institution, we have to constantly invest and upgrade.
Upcoming capital project that requires funding:
Library Upgrade
Highbury has always been a school that champions reading, fostering a love for literature and strong comprehension skills. In an age where artificial intelligence and misinformation are increasingly prevalent, developing critical thinking through reading is more important than ever. Our library, the heart of learning at Highbury, needs refurbishment to create a modern and engaging space for our boys. We have exciting plans to enhance this vital resource and invite our community to contribute to this important project. Your support will help us nurture informed, analytical thinkers who will make a meaningful impact on the world.
