THE BINDYI CLUB

Humble beginnings make for strong foundations

The Esse Quam Videri Foundation is the fund raising body of the Bindyi Club. The Bindyi Club is a club for ex-students of Dubbo High School & Dubbo College.

The Foundation was established in November, 2012 as a Trust of the Bindyi Club. The Trust was established for the sole purpose of providing scholarship and/or bursaries and/or prizes for eligible Australian students.

The Foundation was registered with the Australian Charities and Not-For-Profit Commission (ACNC) in 2017. This means that all donations made to the Foundation are tax deductible.

The Foundation is managed by a committee appointed by the Bindyi Club. The current (2018) members are:

• Walter Howe (Chair) Class of 1964/5

• John Peacock (Secretary & Bindyi Club representative). Class of 1977

• Neil Wykes OAM (Treasurer) Class of 1964/5

• Dennis Wilson Class of 1965

• Sheri Carolyn Class of 2003

Currently the Foundation provides funds for three scholarships made by the Bindyi Club:

• The Rawdon Middleton Scholarship, in memory of World War 2 bomber pilot and VC recipient, Rawdon Middleton.

• The Frank Heather Scholarship, in memory of Frank Heather, instigator of the Bindyi Club

• The Ruby Riach Scholarship, supported by long time Bindyi Club member and former University of Sydney academic, Ruby Riach.
