History

In 1975, Ian Roach persuaded his aunt, May del Cott, to bequeath funds from his beloved grandfather, Alexander Wright Wales, which would have been left to him and his brother Neil (1940-46), to set up the Alexander Wright Wales Trust. This Trust provides full scholarships for talented children whose parents lack the means to pay the fees to attend Scotch College and Presbyterian Ladies College. Ian Roach was Chair of the Trust until his retirement in November 2002.
