After last year’s numerous cancellation notices, it’s great to see things resuming to normality on campus. This year we’ve already celebrated a variety of events like Founders Day, Father Daughter Breakfast (p 62) and the P&F's Biggest Morning Tea, with (hopefully) many more to continue throughout the rest of the year including the sold-out Legends Sports Lunch (27 August) and our previously postponed 75 year Gala Ball (23 October). However, with the celebrations also comes commiserations as we farewell a number of members of staff. Old Scholar and current Head of Primary Years, Pam Carden (p 18), and longserving Works Manager, Gary Evans (p 20), say their final goodbyes at the end of this term after being at St Peters for a collective 63 years! We also say auf Wiedersehen to Pastor Thomas who leaves us for higher pastures in Toowoomba. A theme running through this edition of Plus Ultra is that of perseverance and reward. We talked to students and staff, as well as Old Scholars, about their achievements and success that would not have been possible if it weren't for the persistence they maintained to realise their goals.
For those that are regularly on campus, you will have noticed work on the new Centre for Innovation and Design ploughing ahead with major excavation now complete. Next Semester we should see some real formwork starting to take shape. Is there something we're missing?
