Friends of Moerlina

As a small independent school, Moerlina is enormously grateful for the generosity of the families and community members who support us. Over the years, this support has taken many forms — from gifts and financial contributions to professional expertise, practical help and the generous giving of time. Some contributions come from our current families, others from grandparents, former families and community members who believe in what we do.

Together, these contributions have helped us improve facilities, bring new ideas to life, share our story and create an even better school experience for the children at the heart of everything we do. They also reflect the strong sense of connection and shared commitment that makes the Moerlina community so special.

We wanted to take the opportunity to acknowledge and thank some of the people who have contributed to our school over the years. This is just a small selection, as many contributions are made privately, and the full story would be far too long to tell here.

To everyone who has supported Moerlina in any way, thank you. Your generosity makes a real difference, and we could not do all that we do without you.

Heartfelt Thanks

At Moerlina, our educators and staff pour their hearts into creating a meaningful, enriching experience for every child. Much of this work happens quietly, day after day, driven by a deep commitment to children and their learning.

To know that people see and value this work — and believe in the difference Moerlina can make in children’s lives and in education more broadly — means a great deal to us. The generosity of our supporters does more than fund improvements or bring ideas to life; it reminds us that the work we do matters.

To everyone who has contributed, in big ways or small, thank you. Your support is deeply appreciated, and we are fortunate to have you as part of the wider Moerlina community.

“Being a grandparent at Moerlina School is immensely rewarding and a wonderful privilege. It has allowed me to share wonderful conversations and experiences with my grandchild, as I am aware of what is happening at the school.”
