College Board

In 2018

We’ve marked several milestones at St Bede’s – the eightieth year of our College; the first year of our first lay principal – John Finn; and a reshaping of our College Board.

In May I wrote to all parents, friends and Old Collegians seeking volunteers to join the College Board and Board Committees and we were overwhelmed with the positive response – 36 very capable people expressing interest.  Following this we interviewed and appointed four new Directors to the Board in 2018.  They are Sal Algeri, Simon Libbis, Carol Benton and Geoff Worrell.  They join the existing Directors: Greg Adkins, Marg Burge, Br. Chris Gorringe, Stephen Gallagher, Andrew McLoughney, Russell Saunders and myself. 

We also farewell three directors: Deborah Mullan, who has been a Board member since 2007; to Julianne Miller, who has served on the Board since 2014; and also to Greg McKillop, having served since 2015.  They have made outstanding contributions to the life of St Bede’s through their ideas, dedication and hard work. 

Our Board Committees also play a valuable role in the governance of St Bede’s and we’ve invited additional volunteers to assist in these committees:

• Finance
• Risk
• Catholic and Lasallian Identity
• Strategy

Everyone’s interest and support in the oversight of the College is greatly appreciated.  Our Board appointments rotate every few years and so we will call for expressions of interest again in 2020. 

Kind regards

Anthony Brinkley

Chair, St Bede’s College
