I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our retiring Councillors –  Rob Ryan, George McEncroe, Annie Keely, Rohan Griffiths and Carlene Wilson for their contributions to School Council. In particular the leadership of Rob Ryan who undertook the important role of School Council President and with fellow councillors led a renewed focus on community building.

Community participation in subcommittees and working groups has been a feature of the councils work over the past 5 years , highlighting the benefits of partnering with staff, students and the broader community to ensure the councils focus and actions reflect the community of which we are all a part.
