FROM THE PRINCIPAL

This Community Report for 2022 details a full year of onsite learning and school business re-engagement! I never would have thought that I would need to provide this context to this report but, given the impact of the pandemic shutdowns of recent years, it is a necessary overlay to put in place.

This edition of the Community Report clearly articulates the continued energetic nature of our School this year. It includes not only the achievements both in and out of our classrooms, but the broad range of business and Board undertakings that also underpin the success of the School. I pay tribute to all who facilitated the reactivation of the School as an onsite provider to ensure that our staff and students were the beneficiaries of such a seamless, excellent program that included a full complement of performance and visuals arts, sports seasons, cocurricular extension and an ambitious Learning Journeys program that saw students trek to many unique and exciting destinations across our borders.

What we have learnt as the time beyond lockdowns progresses, is that there has been an impact on the social development of our young people. This is not surprising given the isolation they had to experience over the last few years. It is pleasing, however, that academic data collected by the School indicates that there has been little, if any, decline in our academic achievements which is a credit, particularly, to the staff who worked tirelessly to provide for our students throughout the challenging years of the pandemic.

As we come to the end of the School’s 99th year it is with great anticipation of the School’s Centenary in 2023. With 100 years of history, it is important to reflect on the courage and vision of all those who have added to the diversity of programs that have come before us and to acknowledge that, this year included, a strong and stable foundation has been laid on which we will continue to build on. Gratitude is an important characteristic of any worthwhile organisation and, particularly in 2022, we have been grateful to all who have come before us for their insight and energy, which has placed this School in such a strong position today.

I thank all who contributed to our wonderful School throughout 2022 and for the ongoing contributions of so many stakeholders. In line with our current Strategic Plan, this Community Report also highlights the School’s Master Plan progress as we build for an exciting future beyond our Centenary in 2023. LABORE
