aving celebrated our Centenary in spectacular fashion last year, I was excited for the commencement of 2022, the beginning of a new century of discovery for St Mary’s Anglican Girls’ School. The foundations for another fruitful year were in place thanks to the unveiling of a fresh strategic outlook for the School, with a renewed vision to engage hearts and ignite curious minds, a considered set of guiding strands, and a revised list of core school values. However, it soon became apparent that the year might not proceed as planned due to escalating COVID-19 restrictions. While initially disappointed to think that things might not go our way in 2022, I quickly realised that the answers to the challenges ahead lay in the very strategy that was designed to help St Mary’s take our first steps into our next 100 years. Our strategic guiding strands were carefully designed to foster a respectful, supportive and connected community, where our staff and students could thrive. As we navigated a surge in COVID-19 cases in Western Australia, our values of courage, compassion and respect were at the forefront of our thinking, especially as we turned our focus to developing self-aware, adaptable learners.
