Calrossy Anglican School
Supporting Partner Commbank commbank.com.au “We try to build awareness through regionalmagazines,butwe’renotgoing to splash hundreds of thousands on TV ads etc. It is satisfied parents who are our most effective marketing.” It is clear to see that Calrossy provides its students with ‘roots’ if you like, a framework that’s incredibly supportive and uplifting. It gives its student the tools to be happy and fulfilled. Everything the school does is not for its own advantage, not for making waves on the league tables (which it does anyway), but for the advantage of the students themselves, to give them the smarts and the strength for the life that is unfolding for them. “We’re really passionate, and that’s one of the reason why our students are passionate too,” states Mr Smith. And how does he feel after coming back to Tamworth following two decades spent in Sydney? He informs us hilariously: “We had to buy a new ram recently. This is a bit out of my comfort zone, but that’s a part of the fantastic uniqueness of our situation here. Working in a great school, in the country, is a huge privilege!”
