News Korowa School Council
Thank you
Megan Pepper (Esson, Class of 1997)
As a proud Korovian, Megan joined the School Council in 2018 because she wanted to give back to the school that had given her so much. She has certainly done that. Her extensive legal and governance experience has been invaluable. She excelled as the Chair of the Governance and Nominations Committee transforming the Council’s governance infrastructure, modernising and harmonising our frameworks, policies and charters, thereby significantly enhancing our effectiveness. Her leadership of the nominations process ensured a rigorous, professional approach resulting in the appropriate mix of skills, experience and attributes on Council.
Megan’s calm considered manner and commitment was extremely valuable to Council, particularly as we navigated the uncertainty of the COVID period with lockdowns, distance learning, the construction of the new Roslyn Otzen Sports and Wellbeing Centre and the appointment of a new Principal.
On behalf of the School Council and the School community, I thank Megan for her diligence and valuable contribution to Korowa.
Lisa Tan (Class of 2002)
I would like to thank Lisa for her contribution to Korowa as a member of School Council over the last 12 months. She brought her deep finance experience and commercial acumen to the Council and was a valued member of the Finance and Audit Committee and Leadership Committee. She was unafraid to be a dissenting voice and her unique perspective enriched the Council’s decision making.
As a Korovian and current Korowa parent of Emma in Prep and James in ELC3, Lisa was able to contribute to Council with a deep understanding of life at Korowa. She loves connecting people and generously opened her considerable network to the Council and the broader school community. While the demands and travel requirements of Lisa’s role as the Chief Operating Officer of Goldman Sachs M&A Australia and New Zealand prevented Lisa from continuing with Council beyond 12 months, her contribution was highly valued.
