Roger and Sally Riordan have had a long association with St Leonard 's College, East Brighton. Their three children attended the school, and Sally worked as a technical assistant in the printing department for some years. The Cybec foundation now supports two scholarships at the College.
The Sally Riordan Scholarship. When Sally died in 1999 Roger decided to endow a scholarship at the School in her memory. The scholarship, which provides full tuition for one student, was first awarded in 2002.

The Cybec Newcomers' Scholarship. In 2005 Roger and Pat Riordan were utterly disgusted by the hypocritical and un-Christian way in which Australia was treating refugees from overseas. As a symbol of their disapproval, the Foundation endowed two scholarships for children of refugees. One of these is the Cybec Newcomers' Scholarship at St Leonard ’s College. Generally this will pay all expenses for one deserving student.
