Extra-curricular Opportunities
Schools have long spoken about the benefits of students involving themselves in extra-curricular opportunities. We see many instances of this at Shelford with our extensive range of programs in so many areas of the school. Just recently, I had the pleasure of going to my very first Head of the Schoolgirls Regatta (HOSG) on the Barwon River, and I was so impressed by what I saw.
It was incredible to watch the camaraderie amongst not only the students but their parents and supporters too. It is clear to see just how much the students benefit from such a wonderful extra-curricular program. Congratulations to all of the rowers and well done on a great season. Thank you also to Jules Whitehead our Director of Rowing, the coaching team and our wonderful band of parents who make it all possible.
2023 Tour Guides
School Tours are a regular and very important event at Shelford as they are a valuable opportunity to present our beautiful school to prospective students and their families. I am indebted to our Year 10 Student Tour Guides who do such a wonderful job showcasing our school and highlighting the many benefits of a Shelford education. I thank them for their work and commitment and look forward to working with them throughout the year.
