as well as assisting with many projects required. It is no mean feat collating, cutting, storing and distributing hundreds of metres of timber and metals needed by students each and every year for many different assignments. We wish John all the best for a well-deserved retirement so he can spend more time with his family. Wendy Taylor, English Teacher: Wendy will be retiring at the end of 2021, after twenty years of service to the College. Wendy’s significant contribution to St Edward’s has been in a variety of roles including Pastoral Leader and teacher of English, History and Religious Education. We wish Wendy and family all the very best in the future. Betty Kiekebosch, Leader of Diverse Learning: We also farewell Mrs Betty Kiekebosch who will be retiring at the end of 2021. Betty has held the position of Leader of Diverse Learning for the past twelve years and has demonstrated a deep commitment to ensuring that all students have been provided with the support needed to achieve their personal best. We wish Betty all the very best in retirement. Ray Fitt, Learning Assistant: Ray has maintained a connection with the College for a period of twelve years fulfilling the role of Teacher initially and subsequently Learning Assistant. Ray will also be retiring at the end of 2021 and we wish him well. Sarah Deacon, Risk and Compliance Officer: Sarah has fulfilled the role of Risk and Compliance Officer for the past two years. In this newly created position, Sarah has worked diligently in ensuring that St Edward’s has established clear guidelines, policies and protocols in the areas of WHS, Risk and Compliance. Sarah has been offered the role of Risk and Compliance Manager with the St Philip’s Foundation and we wish her and her family all the very best for the future.
I would like to conclude this year’s report by acknowledging so many wonderful people within our St Edward’s community. Our teachers, support staff and families have all contributed to creating an environment which is dedicated to caring for the young people in our care. 2021 will be remembered for being a very challenging year in many ways and I am forever grateful for the support provided in meeting these challenges. In particular, I would like to acknowledge the College Leadership Team. Their advice, commitment and dedication ensured that we were able to excel in meeting the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.
