It is a great privilege and pleasure to welcome you
to Carden Park for this year’s
Annual Conference. I am very humbled by
having had the chance to Chair an
Association I hold in great affection this year; to follow in the steps of colleagues
for whom I have an enormous amount of professional respect and to be in
the company of a loyal, collegiate and professional body, many of whom are friends.
Thank you for the opportunity. I extend a particularly warm welcome to our guests,
in particular to my own Chair who has been hugely personally and professionally
supportive this year, especially in understanding the importance of this responsibility.
It is lovely to have Patti MacDonald who joins us as a guest from CAIS for the first
time but who is also singing for her supper, bringing some interesting insights into
initiatives at the fore inCanadian independent schools......
