Bequests

Samuel Marsden Collegiate School has a long and proud history. Its reputation for academic excellence is borne out year after year.
The increasing numbers of students taking part and excelling in cultural and sporting activities affirm that the School is achieving its goal of providing an environment that fosters health, happiness and positive attitudes.

Our School is committed to affordable fees, the provision of scholarships and the maintenance of first class facilities to meet the changing educational needs of our students. To help us achieve these aims we invite you to help Marsden meet the needs of the future by making a bequest to the School.

By making a bequest to Marsden you will be part of its future.
A bequest may take the form of the whole or proportion of an estate. It may be a specified sum of money or an asset such as shares or jewellery.

You may wish to make a bequest to the School expressed in general terms. This would provide the School with discretion to allow the gift to be applied where it will be of most benefit.

Or, you may have in mind another form of bequest such as an endowment fund. You may wish your endowment fund to provide an annual scholarship or equipment for an area of the School that is of particular interest to you. By making an endowment you will know the future use of your gift and you may choose a name for your special fund if you so wish. We would be pleased to discuss your ideas with you. It is important that donors notify us of their intentions to ensure that those intentions can be carried out. All discussions will be treated in confidence.

A Will, which reflects your wishes, is best planned while you are fit and well. We recommend that your seek your solicitor’s advice to help you plan your bequest. Often a new Will is not required. A codicil to your present one can be sufficient. Do contact us if you would like advice on the correct wording to use when making a bequest to Marsden School.

Planning for Marsden’s Future is vital.

Thank you for your support of Marsden.
