What an incredible afternoon at the 2026 Champagnat Trust Sports Lunch.
With more than 1,200 guests in attendance, the event once again brought together the Marist community, Old Boys and supporters for an afternoon of connection, entertainment and fundraising in support of the Champagnat Trust.
Guests were treated to engaging and insightful conversations from MCs Fletch and Hindy alongside guest speakers Cooper Woods, Phil Waugh and David Boon, alongside special guests Pat Howard, Matthew Hayden AM and Peter Loli. A particular highlight was hearing from Peter Loli, a former Champagnat Trust bursary recipient, whose story powerfully reflected the real and lasting impact of the Trust in supporting students and families experiencing financial hardship.
The Champagnat Trust plays a vital role in ensuring students can access and continue a Marist education regardless of their circumstances, with funds raised directly supporting bursaries and assistance for families in need.
We extend our sincere thanks to our sponsors whose generosity makes this event possible. Our Gold Champion Sponsors: CoStruct Builders, Lead Institute and Trusted Pest Management. Our Silver Superstar Sponsors: Liminal Wall, Amalgamated Group, Merritt Property Group and Gower Production.
Thank you also to our speakers, volunteers, staff, donors and every guest who attended and supported the event. Your contribution ensures the continued strength of this important mission and the opportunities it provides for young people.
Over 400 Old Boys came together at the first part of the Super Reunion Weekend at the Champagnant Trust Sport Lunch. The connection between Old Boys and the College has never been stronger.
