From the Chair of Board
Dear Members of the School Community
On behalf of the School Board, I send our best wishes to all in our community at the beginning of the new school year.
We particularly extend a very warm welcome to those new to the School this year and hope that you all feel settled as quickly as possible. We are all part of a wonderful school with a vibrant and supportive community and we wish you all the very best as you begin your educational experience at SCEGGS Darlinghurst.
Parents, carers and Old Girls would have received an email announcing the retirement of our Head of School, Jenny Allum, at the end of 2025. Ms Allum will leave an immense legacy after 30 years of outstanding service to both the SCEGGS and the wider educational community.
Ms Allum assumed her role as the fifth Head of SCEGGS Darlinghurst in 1996. During her tenure, Ms Allum oversaw the educational leadership of the School with care and compassion, and the Board is committed to devoting significant time and effort to ensure that the sixth head of school is appropriately equipped to lead our school with vision, integrity and purpose.
As I foreshadowed in my email, the Board is committed to ensuring a smooth transition that will honour the values and ethos of SCEGGS and we will also ensure that Ms Allum’s retirement is fittingly recognised.
I wish everyone in the School community a wonderful year ahead.
Sally Auld
Chair of the SCEGGS Darlinghurst Board
