GARTH WYNNE From our Executive Principal
Two core elements underpin my educational philosophy: excellence and inclusivity.
the same but being themselves, boys being different and being willing to accept and celebrate the uniqueness of others. This is the essence of a collaborative culture. Inclusivity and excellence make for a great school – and it is this I see in the pages of this College magazine. Captured in pictures and words is an eclectic look at our inclusive College community, alongside expressions of excellence across the broad sweep of our programme. There is always so much going on at College, and this is but a snapshot of the wide range of activities and opportunities available for our students, and the depth of experience and talent you can find in our school. I am inspired by how so many of our boys embrace the opportunities before them, either as individuals or alongside their friends and College classmates.

Indeed, one of the character attributes of the ideal College graduate is personal excellence: the ongoing desire of the individual to develop and empower their character, gifts, talents and relationships to the fullest, achieving a harmony in how they think, feel, believe and behave. I often speak to the boys about how they contribute to an atmosphere of excellence that enables everyone to be at their best. To be a community of equity and excellence for all, inclusivity – in academic, co-curricular and pastoral programmes – is a key part of the College experience. In the College context, inclusivity means embracing diversity of talent, ability and character. Boys not being
Enjoy College – I know I do.
