In 2016 we recognised the growth of our Filipino community, with the appointment of Francis Verbo as Filipino leader and his family attended assembly to place the leader badge on him. The Filipino leader role will become part of the student voting and election process at the end of this year, for announcement at prize giving and will be an established role in the student leadership team. Congratulations are extended to Francis on the fine work he has done bringing our Filipino students together and to his proud parents.
