A special thank you to Leah Bailey, who after many years of dedicated service as School Council President, has decided to pass on the baton. Her leadership and commitment have helped guide the school over several years and played a significant role in shaping it into the school it is today. Leah's leadership and guidance to our school community have been invaluable. I would also like to thank Leah for making me feel welcome and supporting my transition into the Bridgewater community.
