From Ms Allum

After a full and exciting Term 1, I am sure that you too are looking forward to the school holidays. I am so proud of the tenacity shown by the community as we have embraced the rigours of learning but also learnt through the spirit of SCEGGS through House events, sporting competitions, drama productions, musicales and so on.

Our community spirit has also been illuminated via the Light Her Path Campaign. Launched in 2020 to raise $20 million ($12 million for the re-development of Wilkinson House and $8 million to expand our means-tested scholarship program), our parents, old girls, staff and supporters have contributed generously to the Campaign in many ways.

Our primary focus remains Wilkinson House which is progressing well. The top two layers of the façade retention were completed at the end of last year before the heavy demolition of the top floors. By last month the demolition to the ground level slab was completed. The slab has now been removed and the sandstone base is ready to be excavated. I thought you would like to see some photos:

The Capital Campaign Committee will also be hosting a fundraising dinner on 1 June which you may read more about here.

But for now, I wish you all a relaxing holiday, whatever that may look like for you and your families.

Best wishes

Jenny Allum
Head of School
