This year, our annual Founders Day assembly contained a special treat: a film showing the founders themselves.

Welcome back to Wilderness for Term 2. I hope your family has had a lovely start to the new term.

We have once again reached the end of a busy term, and there is no doubt it will be nice for each of us to spend time with family over the coming school break.

There is no greater indicator of how strong a community is than when we are confronted by difficult situations.

Building our school community is an integral part of Wilderness.

It is hard to believe we are already halfway through Term 1, and, with restrictions lifting across the state, we have been able to safely manage some of the implications this has had for the School and finally offer some wonderful excursions.

It is lovely to see all students back at Wilderness, embracing the important lesson that all challenges can be faced and overcome with resilience, persistence, and collaboration.

Since its formation, Wilderness has raised courageous, kind and capable young women who have the capacity and knowledge to live lives of purpose.

What a send-off from our beautiful girls. I was delighted to learn that this years SRC big lunch was to be held in my honour.
