SENIOR SCHOOL REPORT
FROM THE HEAD OF SENIOR SCHOOL MR DAVID SMART Celebrating the life of the Senior School 2022 was a fantastic year in the life of the Senior School. The return of so many normal events and activities provided an opportunity for us all to regain a sense of community and enjoy so many important occasions that shape our school life. The highlight was the opening of the new Snow Concert Hall and Music Centre, the most amazing school facility. It has already had an incredibly positive and powerful impact on our weekly assembly gathering, which will be enormously beneficial in the future. The ability to have many wonderful concerts in a hall with amazing acoustics has also been a positive feature for our student and staff musicians. From the beginning of the year, our School Captains, with the support of all of Year 12, prioritised four key initiatives that they were focussing on to bring positive change to the life of the Senior School. These included: • Improving the sense of belonging that all members of our School feel • Continuing to highlight the issue of mental health difficulties and how to receive support • Fostering student voice at CGS; and • Improving our awareness and action regarding sustainability. Many powerful and positive messages and guest speakers provided clear insights in these four areas, and the development of a revamped and rejuvenated SRC committee model based on each year group provided the avenue for student voice to be much more prominent.
