As NEGS commemorates its 130 years of educational excellence this year, we have also established the Anna Abbott Legacy Fund and renamed our historic dining hall in honour of one of its most beloved leaders. The "Anna Abbott Hall" will celebrate the former principal who served the institution from 1990 to 2000 and was known for her grace and dining decorum. The Anna Abbott Legacy Fund represents a collaboration between the school administration and its alumni community. This fundraising initiative uniquely invites each year group to demonstrate their connection to NEGS, showcasing their lasting bond with the school while supporting future generations of students.

One Gift, One NEGS
'Over the course of seven years at NEGS, and since, I have never regretted that arbitrary decision by my parents, because friendships made then have withstood time and distance. Those anchored teen years - along with the normal laughter, tears, and Iced Vovos - gave me resilience, a willingness to adapt if not always compromise, and a belief in myself.'
Alumni, Class of 1975
'When faced with hardships, there is always someone to turn to, whether that be a friend, a classmate, a teacher or a coach. The community of NEGS welcomes and supports everyone with open arms, something that I am forever grateful for.'
Maddi, Year 12 Student
'It doesn't matter if it is in the classroom, on the sporting field, in a leadership team, or in equestrian endeavours, this school is about putting your all into everything you do.'
Year 12 Student
'And I can't forget the amazing memories and friends that I have made while boarding. It has truly become my home away from home, and the girls my family. The deep, lifelong connections I have made could not be replaced. The boarding mothers and staff are truly incredible at what they do - the level of care they have for every one of us stands out as they know us so personally.'
Olivia, Year 12 Student
'After this year, I hope to be studying medicine. The strong connections I have made through my time here are priceless, not only with my peers but also the UNE, students at other schools, and members of the Armidale and NEGS community.'
Olivia, Year 12 Student
The gift of a NEGS education to students who otherwise might not experience it is made possible through our scholarships and bursaries. Your gift will ensure we continue to offer opportunities and hope to these students, whilst building diversity, academic, leadership, and sporting talent, and importantly, to continue accessibility for rural and regional families.
Gifts to the NEGS Education fund are tax deductible.
Enhancing our learning and teaching environments so that our students feel supported and empowered to achieve their academic personal best. This year, in line with our strategic plan, the focus will be on refurbishing the classrooms. We want our classrooms to be environments that inspire curiosity, learning, and innovation.
Gifts made are tax-deductible
To ensure our facilities meet a modern-day boarding community's ongoing and changing needs, our priority is the refurbishment of the boarding facilities to provide a contemporary and modern environment. Last year, through the generosity of our community White House was refurbished on time and under budget. This year with your generosity our focus is Kirkwood House. Boarding is central to the life of NEGS and is close to the hearts of Old Girls and current students alike. Refurbishing the boarding facilities is a major goal so Boarders can continue to live, relax and build lifelong friendships.
Gifts to the Boarding House Refurbishment will be directed to the building fund and are tax-deductible.
