We are grateful to the members of our Clarendon community who support our students, whether through enhancing our state-of-the-art learning environments or by enabling students, who may not otherwise have the opportunity, to experience a Clarendon education.
Clarendon’s Scholarships and Building Funds help ensure our students can continue to experience everything school life at Clarendon involves, from our extensive co-curricular program to our Health and Wellbeing curriculum, where students develop their sense of identity, relationships and self-management skills, while pursuing their passions in a safe and supportive environment.
To honour and recognise members of the Clarendon community who have supported students through the Scholarship and Building Funds over several years, Recognition Circles were created.
The following six Recognition Circles were named in honour of the first six families to have had more than five generations of students attend the school, across Ballarat College, Clarendon Ladies College, Clarendon Presbyterian Ladies College and Ballarat Clarendon College. The year that follows the Circle name is the year of the families’ first student enrolment, and some of these families still have generations of students currently attending Clarendon.

As a school community, we are proud of our long history and are committed to continuing to share stories of our schools’ past. If you have memories to share or information about our Recognition Circles, please share them with our Archivist, Hugh McKenzie-McHarg, at archives@clarendon.vic.edu.au.
