The Buy-a-Brick Paver Project
This is a unique opportunity to have your name permanently engraved on a paver. The engraved brick pavers are feature rows around the pond in the College courtyard as part of the complete upgrade of the area. The area was upgraded in December 2006 but space has been made for many engraved pavers to be included now and in the future so Old Collegians can continue to be part of this project.
For Old Collegians, each paver will be engraved with your name (or, if you wish, the name of a member of your family who has attended St. Mark’s) and the years in College. Friends of the College are also welcome to donate a paver, and have their name engraved. Your gift of $120 for one paver will go towards the cost of the refurbishment that has now made the courtyard a feature of the College. We are hoping that Old Collegians, friends and other supporters of the College will want to be part of this project. The engraved pavers form several rows, complementing the new larger plain pavers that have been laid across the whole courtyard and surrounding areas. A beautiful feature wall in the style of Downer House has been built on the western side of the courtyard. This has extended the courtyard area and divided the courtyard and the Master's Lodge.
At the beginning of 2009, the pond was refurnished with ceramic tiles, feature lighting, external plastering to match the adjoining feature wall and new slate from Mintaro.
If you would like to make a further gift towards the project, this would also be very much appreciated.
All gifts are tax deductible. If you wish to buy a brick, please contact St Mark's, or download the form here:
