Nonsuch Old Girls' Association
January 2010
Dear Nonsuch Old Girl,
In my first letter to you, I would like you to know that I consider it
a great privilege to have been asked to lead this excellent school and
succeed Mrs Espejo whose inspirational leadership has placed the school
in its current position of strength. As we move into a new decade, I look
forward to working with all partners of the school community to ensure
that it continues to flourish in a changing and challenging educational
climate.
Students at Nonsuch have many talents and interests and in my first term,
I have encouraged them to aim high and make the most of the opportunities
on offer. I strongly believe that by getting involved and taking an active
part in the life of the school, the girls will develop a variety of additional
interests, skills and attributes which will serve them well in the future.
Over the past few months I have enjoyed meeting some of you at the 'Social
Evening' in September and in December, when we welcomed back last year's
Year 13 as they collected their A level Certificates. Talking to Old Girls
reinforces the important role that school plays in preparing our students
not only to excel in exams, but to develop as confident, happy and successful
young women ready to take on the world. One of the highlights of the term
was listening to former Nonsuch student, now a Flight Engineer with the
Red Arrows Team, Charlotte Fenn who was our guest speaker at the Main
School Speech Day in November. Her inspirational address is evidence that
for former Nonsuch students the sky is the limit!
You can be justly proud to be part of the Nonsuch family and I am very
keen to forge closer links between the School and the Old Girls' Association.
The first stage will involve setting up a database of contacts and extending
the use of our website and electronic communication to help you stay in
touch with one another and the school. To achieve this, I ask that you
return the completed Data Form to the school. I am also interested to
hear from you with ideas of what you would like from your Association.
If you are in contact with other 'Old Girls' do encourage them to join
by contacting Mrs Lenthall or emailing their details to oldgirls@nonsuch.sutton.sch.uk.
Please find enclosed our new style Newsletter, future copies of which
will be posted on the school website. I would like to thank the committee
for their continued hard work and look forward to meeting you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Karin Rowsell
Head
