Dear Members of the School Community<\/p>\n

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\u00a0Board\u2019s role and of the ownership structure of the School.<\/p>\n

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)!\u00a0 We acknowledge the importance of good governance in all our undertakings and aim to provide broad, comprehensive and modern governance of the School.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can find out more information about the Board on the School\u00a0website\u00a0here<\/a>, which includes a list of all of our Board members.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0School\u00a0is owned and operated by SCEGGS Darlinghurst Limited,\u00a0a company limited by guarantee. All adults within the SCEGGS\u00a0community are eligible for membership, including parents, Old Girls,\u00a0staff,\u00a0friends\u00a0and benefactors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The cost of membership is $100; your\u00a0membership will last for six years and can be made in the form of a\u00a0payment or donation. All members receive a copy of the Annual\u00a0Report and may vote at the AGM.\u00a0 Applications for membership are sent to every person who donates\u00a0to the SCEGGS Trust and to anyone who enquires about\u00a0membership. It is a great idea to join the company; doing so shows\u00a0your support for the\u00a0School\u00a0and, at the same time, acknowledges the ownership\u00a0structure of the company which is so clearly vested in our\u00a0community and the School\u2019s success.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you would like to become a company member please contact the\u00a0Company Secretary, Bridget O\u2019Brien, via\u00a0email\u00a0<\/a>or phone the Director\u00a0of Administration, Phil Rogers, on 9332 1133.<\/p>\n

Best wishes,<\/p>\n
