President’s Report

It gives me great pleasure to write my first article for 2019 and to welcome new and returning members to our wonderful organisation.

I wish to thank all of you who attended last years’ AGM at Scotch College. Thank you to Tim Shearer and Bec Marshall from Scotch who made this possible. We were privileged to hear from a wonderful guest speaker in Elise Dunstan from OurSchool who proved to us that it is not just the high fee paying schools who can effectively engage with their community members.

Our Committee met via Zoom Technology recently and we are really looking forward to representing our members in 2019 in a very positive manner. Our aim this year is very simple : to ensure that our members have access to the best possible professional development and mentoring opportunities across all pillars.
