From the Board

At our Annual General Meeting held in May we reflected on the incredible accomplishments of our staff and students over the past year. 2022 was undoubtedly a time of growth and reinvigoration, born from the courage and resilience that was forged navigating the COVID pandemic.

Now halfway into our Striving for Excellence Strategic Plan (2021 – 2025), it is an opportune time to take stock of our long-terms goals to ensure we meet the learning and infrastructure needs of our community into the future.

A review of our masterplan has identified the ARTECH building as the next priority for redevelopment, with architectural plans and building approvals the next step in the project. I will continue to provide updates as the project progresses.

Across the School, work is continuing to develop and refine a comprehensive sustainability strategy that includes curriculum, energy, waste, procurement and transport, as we seek to reduce our environmental footprint.

The Board has now completed its recruitment of Central Coast Grammar School’s next Headmaster, appointing Phillip O’Regan. An experienced, strategic and values-driven leader, Phillip’s passion and skill is set to guide the school in its next phase of development. We look forward to welcoming him into the school community in January 2024.

We hope you enjoy reflecting on Headmaster Bill Low’s time at CCGS in a special feature on pages 6 and 7. In the coming months the Board will be paying tribute and celebrating the significant contribution he has made towards growing and strengthening the School over the past 15 years. We hope you can join us in recognising the significant legacy Mr Low will leave at the School.

As we head into the second half of this year, our goal is to drive continual improvement in all areas, providing a solid framework to ensure our future goals are achieved.

Stephen Brahams FAICD Chairman of the School Board
