From your previous BOT rep, Isobel Smith:

'It’s been an absolute privilege to be your BoT Rep for 2020, however my time on the board is almost over. While I’m sad to be going, I’m excited to see a new person with new ideas join the board. The past year in this role has been a truly valuable experience learning about governance, professionalism and more. Nominations are open until Wednesday 26 August for anyone in year 9 or above and I encourage anyone who might be interested to start thinking now! If you have any questions come chat to me around school. Thanks, Isobel'
