TERM 3 • 19 OCTOBER 2018 • VOLUME 309
From the Principal Mrs Nicola Taylor
Welcome to Term 4. A special welcome to those families whose daughters are joining the College to the first time. When meeting prospective families, it is encouraging to hear the range of reasons why PLC Armidale is the choice of schools for their daughter and what they understand a PLC Armidale education will provide. As is our custom, we begin each term with a whole school Commencement Service attended by students, staff and a growing number of parents. The Term Four Commencement Service features the induction of our Prefects and Student Leaders as well as marking the collective leadership of Year 11, our Class of 2019, now the most senior students at PLC Armidale. Those who had the privilege of reading the applicants manifestos, listened to the speeches delivered as part of the process, or even observed our sporting teams, watched our music performances, or simply stood in a line at the Salad Bar will know, this is a year group containing many girls who take the lead, set a direction and provide an example for others to follow making the process of selecting and appointing designated positions even more challenging.
