It was a huge pleasure to welcome Rev. Anne van Gend - Executive Director of the Anglican Schools Office, and Rev. Tony Gerritsen to our school last week. Anne and Tony visited as part of our school's Special Character Review to speak with staff, students and Board members as to how the Anglican character of our school is being lived out. They commented on the 'special feel' of St Mark's, how our students are outward looking and compassionate, and how there is a strong sense of community and togetherness in our school.
