Spotlight On: 2024

29 November 2024

With the end of the 2024 school year just days away, I want to finish the year the way I began: by thanking you for being so welcoming. I have had many ‘first days’ at schools.

Spotlight On: Legally Blonde

25 October 2024

In the life of every student should be defining moments of exuberance and achievement they remember for life. For the 75 students of Legally Blonde, last weekend’s performances delivered moments they’ll never forget. The musical was, in a word, a triumph. As a leader in 3 schools, I’ve enjoyed more than my fair share of musicals. Legally Blonde counts as one of the best I’ve seen.
