Last Thursday, the newly elected student leadership team (Tristan, Becky, Thea and Jacob) paid our respects to the school’s namesake, Katherine Warington. We visited St. Nicholas’s Church, where we were warmly welcomed by the church staff and had the opportunity to admire the church’s beautiful interior. We were then guided to Katherine Warington’s family grave, where we took time to remove the moss and lichen that had accumulated over the years. Tristan filled and poured the water, while the rest of us carefully used brushes to clean the grave. We left the site with a deeper appreciation for the legacy of the woman our school is named after, having had the chance to honour her memory.

We then led a section in the whole school assembly last Friday about her and what we as a school community can learn from her.
