As we begin Semester 2, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the dedication and professionalism of our staff who have stepped into acting roles across the Secondary School. Their willingness to lead, adapt and support others reflects the very best of our Grammar culture—one centred on unity, shared purpose and our ongoing commitment to “We Not Me.”

Please be reminded of the following staffing changes for Semester 2, as we welcome back Fiona Roush as Dean of Teaching and Learning and wish Darren MacLeod-Paterson well on his Long Service Leave:

• Jenni Haywood – Acting Head of Science
• Dan Robotham – Acting Dean of Students
• Mel Barber – Acting Head of Year 10
• Scott Mayall – Acting Head of Secondary
• Chris Straughan – Acting Dean of Curriculum
• Brad Doughan – Acting House Coordinator, Bradman House.

At Grammar, “We Not Me” is more than a phrase—it’s a mindset we strive to live out each day. It speaks to the power of collective effort and the belief that our strength lies in how we support one another. Whether in the classroom, on the sporting field, in leadership or behind the scenes, every contribution matters—and every role, no matter how temporary, is an opportunity to grow and serve.

To all those who have stepped up, thank you for the example you have set. We are proud of the culture we continue to build together.

Mr Scott Mayall
Acting Head of Secondary
