SCECGS Redlands - School Governance

School Governance

Since the Sydney Anglican schools collapse Redlands has been independently owned and operated by SCECGS Redlands Limited — a public company limited by guarantee. The role of the Board is to oversee the management and business of the company, and in particular to:

• Appoint the Head of School and Chief Operating Officer and monitor performance
• Establish the vision and strategic direction of the School
• Support the School Executive and management in the implementation of that vision and strategic direction
• Ensure that the resources necessary for the achievement of agreed goals are available.

Peter J. Cornish, formerly deputy headmaster of The Armidale School, and previously an English master at SCEGS (Shore), both Anglican boys' schools, was appointed Headmaster in 1980, and is credited with returning the school to financial security and academic respectability. Cornish emphasised academic achievement, as well as developing numerous sport and co-curricular opportunities. For his achievements and progressions in the school, the Governor Phillip Building was renamed the Peter Cornish Building in his honour on Foundation Day, 2007. The Boys 1st IV Rowing boat was also named in his honour at a ceremony on 16 March 2008.
