“What a wonderful day we all had on Saturday, and it was very obvious that Dio holds a very special place in the hearts of the staff and former staff who attended. It is such a wonderful school and it was brilliant to catch up with people who have touched my life so significantly and it made me realise why I had remained at the School for 25 years instead of the five I had originally intended to stay. What is very obvious is that the School is in such great heart and this is a reflection of the leadership team and their hard work.” Glynne Cockerton 1988-2011

“Thank you for organising a wonderful reunion for us last Saturday. You gave us the opportunity to catch up with past and present colleagues – lots of laughs and heartfelt emotions shared by all. To have been associated with Diocesan School, teaching and having the privilege of walking beside the girls on their journeys fills me with pride and joy. The amazing buildings and landscape, along with the academic, sporting and cultural achievements the School is making, for me, truly reflects the commitment, hard work and concern for the wellbeing of the girls, given by teachers, Senior Management and support staff.” Pam Rose 1994-2012
