WOMEN’S COLLEGE STAFF, 2005-CURRENT

Magnolia grandiflora (Magnolia Teddy Bear) an Illawarra flame tree in the grounds of the College on the occasion of the visit of the English Women’s Cricket team, captained by future College principal Betty Archdale.

We are all privileged in enjoying College’s landscape legacy today because of the vision and stewardship of its distinguished past and present Principals. There have also been many generous donors who have contributed to beautifying the grounds. I would like to think that the College’s gardens are still works in progress - with the potential to bloom with agency and imagination into memorable spaces for the women of College, a home away from home.

We are living now in the age of the Anthropocene, of climate change, threatened biodiversity and environmental challenges often beyond our control. In this increasingly changing world, these trees are our treasures and the College gardens and landscapes the jewels in the crown.
