From the Chair of Board

Dear Members of the School Community

I hope Term 1 is going well for you so far! On behalf of the School Board, I wanted to communicate a couple of important aspects of the Board’s role and of the ownership structure of the School.

It is important to note at the outset that the Board does not have a role in the day-to-day running of the School. We set the long-term strategic direction for the School and support the Head as she executes the mission, vision and strategy of our School. (And of course, this year, we have the particularly important job of appointing our new Head of School for 2026 and onwards)!  We acknowledge the importance of good governance in all our undertakings and aim to provide broad, comprehensive and modern governance of the School. 

You can find out more information about the Board on the School website here, which includes a list of all of our Board members.

The School is owned and operated by SCEGGS Darlinghurst Limited, a company limited by guarantee. All adults within the SCEGGS community are eligible for membership, including parents, Old Girls, staff, friends and benefactors. 

The cost of membership is $100; your membership will last for six years and can be made in the form of a payment or donation. All members receive a copy of the Annual Report and may vote at the AGM.  Applications for membership are sent to every person who donates to the SCEGGS Trust and to anyone who enquires about membership. It is a great idea to join the company; doing so shows your support for the School and, at the same time, acknowledges the ownership structure of the company which is so clearly vested in our community and the School’s success. 

If you would like to become a company member please contact the Company Secretary, Bridget O’Brien, via email or phone the Director of Administration, Phil Rogers, on 9332 1133.

Best wishes,

Sally Auld
Chair
