GARTH WYNNE From our Executive Principal
As you can see in the pages of College , there is – as ever – much to celebrate in what College boys achieve. The stories reflect a combination of will and talent, both from the students involved and from our passionate and dedicated staff. There is no doubt the greatest asset College has is its staff. The Board of Governors makes it an absolute priority to ensure our teaching staff are the best they can be. This is reflected in the work of the Centre for Teaching Excellence & Research and the development of a range of professional learning programmes combined with a caring and forward-thinking culture. In recent years we have also placed a greater focus on staff and community wellbeing – a key aspect of our Strategy 2020. Enclosed you will find a copy of our Health & Wellbeing / Hauora document, which outlines our commitment to developing health and wellbeing initiatives at College. We have introduced a staff wellbeing committee who are focused on developing ways
to enhance staff wellbeing. And, as you will read, we have recently welcomed clinical psychologists Dr Sarah Anticich and Emily Baird as our College Counsellors. They will work with Director of Wellbeing & Positive Education John Quinn and other staff, especially Housemasters, to ensure we provide the best possible care for our boys and the wider community, and promote the path to personal fulfilment. We strive to make College a workplace of choice, because it is only when staff are fully committed, engaged and well that the true potential and value of the wide range of opportunities we offer our students can be achieved.
