2015-02-12 | Head of Stanmore

Dear Parents and Guardians,

On Wednesday we held a special assembly to celebrate the opening of our new Hospitality Centre. Mr Neil Perry AM (ON 1975) was our Guest of Honour and he spent some time talking to the boys about the importance of ‘caring’ for what they do. Caring for their customers, their environment and the community at large.

Today our boys participated in the first House Competition Day. The boys demonstrated tremendous House spirit in their three core activities of softball, volleyball and four court tennis. My thanks go to all the staff for their enthusiasm and interest in the day. A great finish to the week.

Dr Andrew Hirst, Deputy Headmaster/Head of Stanmore
