THE CHRONICLE
SOUTHWELL SCHOOL TRUST BOARD
JEFF DE LEEUW SOUTHWELL SCHOOL TRUST BOARD CHAIRMAN
For Southwell, 2018 has so far delivered many, many positive successes and growth opportunities for
all. From the small wins our children encounter every day
in their learning and experiences, to the large campus developments and staff progressions.
We have also experienced tremendous support from our parent body this year with a phenomenal number of parents getting involved with, and assisting us, across the extra-curricular programme. This includes parent coaches, team managers, transportation and so many others getting involved with
the Opera and Year group shows. Parents have also assisted in the specialist departments – art, science and technology. This is a testament to their commitment to us and the unity between families, teachers and the school as a whole.
Our Campus Development plan is currently being formalised with key stages and a sequential build program. This plan delivers a structure to
focus our community on, get support from and has a long term view and aspiration.
We have engaged freely and regularly with the Foundation on this campus plan by increasing our communication and the sharing of information. We recognise that this quality group of well-connected individuals will play a key role in the successful fund-raising, and fund management, of these future developments. We are very appreciative and pleased with the buy- in and support from the Foundation, by positively adopting our proposed campus plans. We look forward to sharing this plan with you in the near future.
