From the Principal Mrs Nicola Taylor
The 2019 Academic year has begun well as we have welcomed many new students and families across both the Junior and Senior school. It was delightful to see so many attend the Welcome BBQ on Tuesday afternoon with new marquees representing our four Guilds adding colour and much needed shelter in what has been a very warm week! Thank you to the P&F, led by Jules Ditchfield and David Dettwiller for their contribution to the afternoon along with the launch of the parent liaison roles for 2019. The partnership of our parent community in supporting in such practical ways the events and activities of the College is greatly appreciated. Along with our new students, our new members of staff have settled into the College and are looking forward to taking up their respective roles across the College. We welcome Ms Julie Flanagan, Mrs Roxanne Shumack and Ms Sophie Westermarck to the Humanities faculty. Welcome also to Ms Melinda Mumford, Ms Emilia Stevenson, Ms Zoe Swan and Ms Breanna Thomason who have joined us as Duty Mistresses in the Boarding House. Congratulations to Pip Constable (Year 9) who during the break participated in the Under 13 National Indoor Hockey Championships as a member of the Gold medal winning team. Pip was personally recognised for her contribution to the team, as the recipient of the continued on Page 2... Team Citizenship Award.
