In 2020, as the pandemic was just beginning, Craig Walden (OW1981) and Phil Lambourne (OW1980) began a partnership with the Wesley College Foundation that will create an enduring impact for current and future generations of students.

The APS Benefits Group have now been active members of the Sapere Aude Bequest Society for five years, and in that time, have been instrumental in supporting the transformative educational experience provided to all students at the College.

The motivation to establish this partnership is deeply linked to the vision of the APS Benefits Group - to protect and enhance the financial well-being of all Australians.

The Wesley College Foundation gratefully acknowledges APS Benefits Group for their ongoing and generous support of the Sapere Aude Bequest Society.

'Our connection with Wesley College is especially meaningful. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to financial education and our belief in the Wesley motto to ‘dare to be wise’. Wesley College not only fosters a love of learning but also nurtures a unique sense of community and support. We cherish this relationship, as it reflects our joint mission to uplift and educate, ensuring a brighter, wiser future for the next generation.'

The team at APS Benefits Group includes several proud Wesley alumni from the 1980s. Collectively, they believe in empowering individuals to live their best life with peace of mind knowing that they are protected in the good times and the tough times. Through a range of friendly financial services including wills and estate planning, tax and financial advice, investments and loans, their close-knit team is passionate about delivering trusted advice and exceptional customer service, firmly rooted in giving back to the community.

Wesley College aims to transform lives through an educational journey that enables every young person to grow and thrive and become a thoughtful, engaged and contributing citizen of the world. We offer a range of scholarships, provide state-of-the-art facilities and develop innovative educational programs thanks to the generous contributions from our loyal benefactors and bequestors.

Including a gift in your Will to the Wesley College Foundation – however big or small – is a powerful way to leave a lasting and meaningful legacy. We thank the members of our Sapere Aude Bequest Society and encourage and welcome new members.
