Join the William Campbell College (WCC) for an unforgettable evening at The Pavilion Kiama to celebrate the Birdcage Ball on 6 October. Get ready for a sumptuous 3-course meal, cocktails, dancing, live music, and auctions!

The event's purpose is to support Children's Education at William Campbell College located at Nowra Hill. Guest attendance directly contributes to sponsoring children's education, resources, excursions, and the expansion of the College.

The journey began in 1998, when William (Bill) Campbell decided after being a child in care himself, he wanted to open a foundation that supported children and young people in his local community. 

William Campbell Foundation (WCF) is now one of the largest non-profit organizations supporting the South Coast of New South Wales, having operated for 21 years.

Bill’s Foundation is a helping hand for children and young people in our community and is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting vulnerable, neglected and homeless children and young people. They offer Foster Care, Family Support, Youth Support, Mentoring, and Chaplaincy.

One of the visions when building the William Campbell Foundation was to see a purpose-built school developed and constructed. The school provides a holistic approach towards the needs of children and young people, including education, health, welfare, social, cultural, emotional and spiritual. The model of the school has far-reaching effects both for the child's personal growth and for the community, which will reap the benefits of each child eventually becoming a dignified and mature adult who can bring to society the benefits of their educational and personal achievements. 

The College caters to students who may have suffered significant trauma or experienced time in out-of-home care. They may be disengaged from school or struggling in mainstream education due to a range of social, emotional, behavioural or learning difficulties.

The uniqueness of the school allows teachers and staff to work cohesively with permanency support staff from the William Campbell Foundation. This allows a greater understanding of the children's individual needs.

“We are thankful for the support from our community, especially the businesses who have donated various items to our silent and live auctions that will go directly to sponsoring children's education to attend William Campbell College, resources, excursions, and to further build stage two and three of the College,” the WCC has said.
