2000 School Magazine

from the PIincipol

The year 2000 will be remembered as one of great celebration and ceremony. From the fireworks displays throughout Australia which heralded the new Century to the closing ceremony of the XXVllth Olympiad we were reminded continually of the value of diversity and community. Of particular significance were the messages inherent in the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics and the tribute to one hundred years of women in Olympic Sport. Within the School we will remember 2000 as very exciting, challenging and extremely busy and a year in which so many of our young women surpassed themselves in a variety of ways. In one hundred and twenty five days of celebration, spanning the period between 15 March and the opening of the Olympics in September, we had time to honour our past and pay tribute to our founder, Sir Charles Lilley. But, even more importantly, we were given opportunities to look forward with positive enthusiasm to the future. This was achieved in two very tangible ways with the completion of the first stage of our ambitious Master Plan, Towards 2010, and the commissioning of the School Song, NITSine Labore. With words by Lana Hadgraft and music by Richard Gill it was a fitting birthday present for girls of the School. In simple and inspiration al words it captures our very essence. it urges us all to set our goals and strive, dares us to let our dreams take wings and soar and above all to value and take strength from our diversity. As we move into the Twenty First Century I am confident we will keep our founder's vision bold, and embrace change in such a way that we can all be part of building a future more discerning.
