From the Chair of the Board
Dear Members of the School community,
On behalf of the School Board, I write to send our warm wishes to all in the School community at the beginning of the new school year. We acknowledge the challenging year that was 2021, and send our very best wishes for 2022!
We would particularly like to warmly welcome those new to the School community this year. We hope that you all feel settled as quickly as possible. SCEGGS is a wonderful school with a big heart and we want you all to experience the best possible education you can at SCEGGS.
It is important to say at the outset that the Board does not have a role in the day-to-day running of the School. Our role is to determine and maintain the mission and vision 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 the School. 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. A list of all of the Board members can be found here.
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 acknowledges the ownership 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, Sarah Walters, on 9332-1133.
On behalf of the School Board, I wish everyone in the School community a wonderful year ahead.
Sally Auld
Chair
