Zhaohua Ma, allegedly part of a $10 billion money laundering syndicate smashed by the AFP last year, donated more than $100,000 to the Bellevue Hill school.

and near $80 million new student centre, which looks more like a knock-off Mormon church than the Scottish baronial castle on which it was modelled.
