b'Last year, my predecessor as Board Chair, Don Lewtas, described the launch of our 2021-2026 Strategic Plan, Venture Further Together. It is an ambitious plan being stewarded by Sarah Bruce and the leadership team with five areas of focusmental health and well-being; diversity, equity, and inclusion; experiential learning; smart use of technology; and campus developmenteach with a detailed action plan. The importance of those five areas remains undiminished, as does our commitment to achieving our ambitious goals recognizing we can always do better by deepening our understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing our community. Underpinning the implementation of the action plans and the delivery of daily school activities is an undertaking to provide a safe and welcoming environment for every member of our community to thrive.Greenwood has always been an innovator, and indeed a disruptor, in middle- and high-school education. That could not have been possible without the support of parents and guardians, grandparents and increasingly alumni who have given their time as Board, Roundtable and committee members and volunteers and have provided philanthropic support to make Greenwood what it has become, and will help it move forward to the milestones that lie ahead. To all of you, past, present and future, thank you so much on behalf of the school community.Special thanks this year also go to the Campus Building Committee that was assembled quickly when opportunity knocked, and who moved so effectively to bring the Mount Pleasant and Balliol land purchases to fruition.Finally, to our wonderful staff, leadership team and Sarah Bruce, thank you for your ongoing efforts and working hard to deliver on our mission to challenge, inspire and support each student, within a welcoming community, to develop the knowledge, skills and character needed tolead a fulfilling life and reach their full potential.We can all be optimistic about Greenwoods future, as we collaborate to truly Venture Further Together.Stephen BowmanChair, Greenwood Board of DirectorsGreenwood Annual Report 2021/2022 3'
