FROM THE HEADMASTER Ms Jennyfer Leah and Head of Senior School Mr Brad Evans. Their passion and enthusiasm for the program and their demonstrated team-work enabled the program to flourish and the results to flow. My thanks to them and to Darren Harris from Leading Teams for all of their inspirational work. Awards and achievements such as these remind me why I am so fortunate to lead the staff and students at Guildford Grammar School. The continued success and growth of our School is due to every member of the school community. Although there will always be situations and challenges that test us, it is how we stand together through adversity and stay true to the School’s Values that continues to motivate and inspire me.
