An incredible weekend Open House led us neatly towards the flurry of engagements that typifies the arrival of the Board of Governors, with members rightly keen to engage broadly. Able to meet with current and prospective Shrewsbury families, members of staff, various student groups and a host of connected supporters of our school, they left suitably impressed by the commitment, camaraderie and consistency exhibited by all. Able to conclude the week with the shared hosting of a very first event in partnership with the Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA), we have a lot to be grateful for on approach to the winter season: Together We Flourish.

I’ll spend part of next week at a conference in Bangkok, but can look forward to joining friends at Bloomberg and Guidepost Montessori Kindergarten for events connected to the broadening of appreciation for all that a Shrewsbury education has to offer before departure. My time outside the region will be spent alongside an esteemed group of school leaders, with the rising influence of Artificial Intelligence a central theme.
