Newsletter Article: Term 2, Week 2 2024

Dear Parents, Caregivers and Friends of Stuartholme,

Welcome to Term 2

It is my delight to welcome back all our students and families to Term 2 and extend a warm welcome to the new members joining our community and I hope that you had a wonderful Easter break.

Being together in the Chapel last week to start the term and seeing our students energized to be back was joyful. I am always filled with happiness once our students return.

During the break I enjoyed presenting alongside my Deputy – Deb Lonsdale-Walker at the National AHISA Conference. This was a great chance to share the ways in which Stuartholme continues to answer the call to empower young women through a modern education to step up to change the world.

Strategic Directions – shaping the leaders of tomorrow

2024 marks the launch of our 2024-2027 Strategic Plan developed in collaboration with all in our community. Building on the goals and vision of our Founder, it lays the foundation for us to achieve its central goal of forming our young women to be the leaders of tomorrow.

I look forward to working together as a school community to implement our exciting new strategic directions with the community over the remainder of the year.

 2024 Giving Day

On Thursday, June 13th, we will celebrate our third annual Giving Day—a chance to make a difference. I encourage all in our community to support this key initiative, which will enable us to continue to gift a Sacred Heart education to those who may not normally have been able to access this opportunity.

I look forward with anticipation to us working together in the spirit of our Sacred Heart community to make this a tremendous success.

Celebrating the Anzac Spirit

This week, we came together as a school for our Anzac Day Liturgy. I was also proud to join our Boarding community and our Cor Unum Committee at the local ANZAC Day service at Toowong. Each year, I am always in awe of how this is such a profoundly moving experience.

We remain committed as a school to continuing to connect to the ANZAC story and relate to each other with “heart” – in the spirit of Cor Unum.

I wish you all blessings for the start of Term 2.

Yours in Cor Unum,

Danny Crump
Principal
