From the School Council

As we reach the close of this school year, it is my pleasure, on behalf of the School Council, to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our Headmaster, Dr John Collier and his wife, Kate, along with the Executive Leadership Team, our exceptional teachers, and all staff members. Your dedication has continued to make Shore a place of growth, excellence, and inspiration for every student.

This year has brought both milestones and challenges. Dr Collier, facing health obstacles that would have given many reason to step back, demonstrated remarkable strength and resilience, leading Shore with a steadfast commitment to our students’ wellbeing and success. His influence is felt across the School—in his guidance to staff, his connection with students, and his engagement in the life of our community.

Dr Collier’s vision, brought to life by our talented and devoted staff, has fostered a School culture that not only pursues academic excellence but also nurtures each student’s personal and emotional development. Our teaching staff have shown unwavering dedication in supporting and encouraging every student, while our Professional Services teams have kept this vibrant organisation running smoothly.

I would also like to acknowledge my fellow members of the School Council, Foundation, SPA and the Old Boys Union. Their service to Shore is an act of true devotion, one that benefits every member of our School family.

As we look to the coming year, may we all find renewed strength, health, and joy, ready to support Shore’s mission and vision. Thank you for your hard work, your resilience, and the spirit of unity you bring to Shore each and every day.
