Tonight s auction is held in aid of the Mount Kelly Bursary Fund Abraham Kopparambil (Current Bursary Recipient) At Mount Kelly we have a strong vision of social inclusivity and wide opportunity. Our aim is to enable more pupils with talent and potential to access a Mount Kelly education, who could not otherwise afford to do so. We believe that these pupils will greatly contribute to our ethos and enhance our school community. Mount Kelly is not a wealthy or well-endowed school. We currently provide bursarial support for approximately 10% of our pupils through money raised by Mount Kelly Enterprises Ltd and Mount Kelly Overseas Ltd. Our objective is to seek further support for the Mount Kelly Bursary Fund to enable us to offer a greater number of means tested bursaries, and give more young people the opportunity to be part of our school. By supporting the Mount Kelly Bursary Fund, you will make a difference to the lives of the most deserving pupils, offering them the education, opportunities, confidence and ambition to succeed in life.
