Make a Donation
Skyline identifies and supports students from across Victoria who have a high potential for education success but face a multitude of barriers.
Your donation will have a profound impact on our students’ lives, their families, and the communities they live in.
Donations are directly used to purchase student uniforms, textbooks, laptops and other resources that directly assist in the participation of school. As well as help pay school fees and levies, that otherwise might mean that student wouldn’t be able to attend school at all.

Rose’s Story
Growing up with a father who miraculously survived a car crash only to be in a coma for years. Skyline made it possible for Rose to finish school and successfully transition to university.
Inspired by her father’s challenges, she is now studying a Masters of Speech Pathology at the University of Melbourne.
You can support high ability students like Rose to thrive in their final two years of school to become our leaders of tomorrow.
Turn adversity into opportunity and help us put students like Rose through VCE next year!
