Commissioning Korowa's 10th Principal

BY JANE GRLJ, DIRECTOR OF MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS

A new era in the School’s history was formally recognised in the commissioning of Korowa’s 10th Principal, Mrs Frances Booth at a special service held on 10 March 2023 in St Paul’s Cathedral, Melbourne.

It was presided over by the Archbishop of Melbourne, The Most Reverend Dr Philip Freier. The service provided an opportunity for all sections of the School community to come together to celebrate this significant event and allowed current students to witness the importance of tradition and the responsibilities and commitment that come with leadership. It was a service rich in symbolism and the congregation enjoyed the participation of students from across the School. It provided a wonderful opportunity for students in choirs and ensembles to perform in such an historic and acoustically pleasing setting. It was both a celebration of our past and an affirmation for the future. The School was delighted to welcome many guests that included Frances’ family, friends and former colleagues.
