and to seek new challenges, because it is the application of their knowledge, skills, and dispositions that will distinguish our boys and, ultimately, prepare them to be contributing members of society in an increasingly competitive and rapidly evolving world of work. Today more than ever, we understand how the brain works, how social and emotional experiences can impact on learning, and how technology can enable learning. Our aspiration is that our boys will choose more, learn more, and be better prepared for their futures. We want them to feel more connected to our College than ever before.
Mr Lindo, on behalf of the entire College community, we thank you for your outstanding service. Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in showing your appreciation for Hugh Lindo. I would also like to thank our extraordinary staff here at College. Their dedication to providing the best possible opportunities and experiences for our boys is truly remarkable. Great staff make all the difference, and I feel privileged to work alongside such a passionate and hardworking team. You will not find a more committed group. I ask you all to join me in showing our appreciation for their tireless efforts. Finally, to our Year 13 boys, the Class of 2024 – thank you for the significant contributions you have made to Christ’s College over the past five years. My greatest hope for each of you is that when you leave College, you will do so with confidence in who you are and in your ability to have a positive impact on the world around you. Wherever life takes you, you will always have a home at Christ’s College. You are about to enter a world that is complex and full of challenges, but it is my conviction that you will face those challenges with courage, grace, and dignity. On behalf of the staff, we wish you all the very best in the next chapter of your lives, with all our love and respect. Joe Eccleton Executive Principal
challenging financial times and an unstable educational climate. You may also be aware that our Board Chair, Hugh Lindo, will step down from his position at the end of this academic year. If ever there was a definition of the ultimate College man, it would be Mr Lindo. He is an Old Boy, a past parent, a former president of the Old Boys’ Association, a Fellow of the Board, and, most recently, our Board Chair. His commitment to Christ’s College has been unwavering, and we have been incredibly fortunate to benefit from his leadership.
Our aspiration is that Christ’s College will be the school that sets the benchmark for educational success in this country – and we should be unapologetically ambitious in pursuing this goal. Before I conclude, I would like to extend my thanks to our Board of Governors. Our school is fortunate to be overseen by a highly professional group of people who generously donate their time and expertise. Their specialist skills and experience have enabled Christ’s College to meet its governance responsibilities and navigate
