WE HONOUR, WE CELEBRATE, WE REMEMBER
Farewell Miss Florey
Wendy Florey is significant to literally thousands
of our past pupils. She has walked a sometimes
challenging path with many, and always with great care,
compassion, consideration, justice and faith. At the
heart of her actions and decisions has always been the
welfare of the students and their family.
Wendy has left an indelible mark on the story of
All Hallows’, not the least of which has been the
development of the House Pastoral system and the
evolution of the School’s Wellbeing focus.
I thank you all for your kindness, friendship, generosity
and support which I will never forget It has been a
journey where I have shared some happy, sad, special
and significant occasions and experiences with so many.
It has been an absolute blessing in my life to be part
of the 160-year story of All Hallows’ School. Inspired
by Catherine McAuley’s words to “trust in God’s
providence” I feel sure that my own path and especially
the path of my beloved All Hallows’ School moving
forward is one of opportunity, gratitude and positivity”
Following are Wendy’s own words as she leaves, and
a video above of ‘surprise’ guard of honour for Wendy
formed by the entire student population and most staff.
“As I prepare for the end of my 20th school year at All
Hallows’ and look to my imminent retirement with hope
and optimism, I reflect on just how grateful I am to the
thousands of All Hallows’ School students and families
I have had the privilege to encounter and journey
alongside over the years.
