Headmaster, Stephen Webber, stated that the selection of female and male students to lead the School was a significant occasion in the School’s 122 year history. “It was particularly pleasing to note that there was parity in the level of support for both male and female students in our democratic voting process. The diversity of the group and the breadth of talent and personalities will no doubt enhance the leadership of the School in 2019.”
