Welcome New Board Chair

Breakfast series for College parents

DURING Semester 1, All Saints' College Principal Dr Geoffrey Shaw and Head of Junior School Mrs Penelope Crane, were delighted to invite small groups of College parents to a series of breakfasts in the Board Room.

THESE breakfasts provided informal opportunities for dialogue and sharing between the Principal, Head of Junior School, and invited parents of the College. Throughout the coming years,it is hoped the invitation can be extended to all College families to attend an enjoyable breakfast before school and work.

All Saints' welcomes new Board Chair

MRS Judith Cottier, who was Chair of the Board at All Saints' College for two-and-a-half years, has now resigned from the position in order to undertake some well-deserved holidaying with her husband.

THE College is enormously grateful for Mrs Cottier's valuable and generous contribution, and we wish her a rewarding - belated retirement.

We are very fortunate that Mr Peter Gow has agreed to accept the Chair. Mr Gow has been a College parent since 2004 when his and Beth's first son, David, entered Year 8. David graduated from All Saints' in 2008. Meanwhile, Evan began Year 8 in 2006 and is completing Year 12 this year.

Mr Gow holds a Bachelor of Engineering degree and a Bachelor of Arts degree, as well as a Postgraduate Diploma in Management. He is a Chartered Professional Engineer and a Member of the Institution of Engineers, Australia. He is currently Executive Director, Building Commission, with the Department of Commerce. His experience with building codes, standards, regulation and tendering has already been of great benefit to the College as we pursue our substantial capital works program.

We are delighted to welcome Mr Peter Gow as our Board Chair at this important time for the College.
