Several members of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra send their children to Huntingtower,
as the syllabus has a strong musical component. When first violinist Gerard van der Weide died tragically in 2003
the Foundation set up a special scholarship to enable his two daughters, both gifted musicians,
to continue their education at the School.

Macflite Training. Special Scholarship:
Macflite Training, which is based at Coolangatta Airport, provides training for commercial pilots. In 2003 James Knagge, a young descendant of the Mununjali people, of South East Queensland, applied to the Foundation for a scholarship to enable him to complete the Macflite course. As there are very few indigenous pilots, the Foundation agreed to his request, as a special case. James completed his training at the end of 2005. He is currently working as a commercial pilot with Macair Airlines.
