The new principal of Strathcona Girls Grammar, Lorna Beegan, has arrived at an exciting time in the Canterbury school’s history.
This is Strathcona’s centenary year, and a number of celebrations are taking place at the school, including the burying of a time capsule, the launch of a pictorial history of the school, and the unveiling of a bronze statue made by a former student.
“Strathcona has always been an energised and dynamic place for girls to learn, and the women we educate have the power and responsibility to contribute to the world they live in,” Beegan says.
“Within an all-girl environment you can cater the syllabus and classrooms to subjects and concepts that girls are in tune with. In schools like Strathcona, if girls want to try subjects, they give them a go. They don’t hesitate.
“Our focus has always been on creating the best environment for girls to learn.”
