2015-02-26 | Head of Stanmore

Dear Parents and Guardians,

This week’s focus at House Chapel and assembly has been on the theme of gratitude. As I look around this beautiful campus I am reminded of President John F Kennedy’s wise words ‘We must find time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives’. I am personally thankful for our liberal education that encourages a personal best approach to all endeavours and that has a large multicultural community. I thank the boys for their enthusiasm and zest to learn, the staff for their professionalism and parents for their willingness to build partnerships.

Dr Andrew Hirst, Deputy Headmaster/Head of Stanmore
