​In celebration of International Women’s Day I was delighted to be able to join with more than 200 members of the School Community for the annual Lowther Women Lunch on Thursday this week, where past and present students, staff, parents, board members, donors and friends of the School enjoyed a two course meal and a wonderful presentation by a panel of Lowther Women addressing the theme of “Balance for Better”.

Congratulations to Clarke for winning the Senior School House Peforming Arts Competition! Entirely student led, the girls write, dance, sing, act and stage manage a musical based on a theme, which this year was: "Take a walk on the wild side".

​It has been another busy week at Lowther Hall. In Senior School the girls are rehearsing for the forthcoming House Performing Arts Competition and every day we see and hear the rehearsals and observe the increasing confidence and cohesion in the dances, acting and singing!

We are delighted to have received photos of students in Tanzania making use of donated items from our previous Lowther uniform! Thank you to our families for your donations, and to Mrs Anastasia Haikalis for facilitating this program.

​It has been wonderful to have had so many opportunities to connect with our community during the last week. I was inspired by our student leaders on Tuesday when the Year 12 Prefects and Captains ran activities for the Year 6 leaders.

It is always delightful to see our students return for a new school year! At the Years 1 to 12 assembly on Wednesday we had the opportunity to welcome our many new students and new staff and to present them with a Lowther Hall Teddy Bear as a sign of connection to our community.

Say "hi" to our Lowther girls as we welcome them for their first day of school for the year! We look forward to sharing an excellent 99th birthday year with all of our community. Welcome to Term 1!
