<strong>LORIEN</strong> <strong>LORIEN</strong> <strong>NOVALIS</strong> <strong>ANNUAL</strong> <strong>REPORT</strong> <strong>REPORT</strong> <strong>2012</strong> 2011<br />

Message from Education Administrator<br />

<strong>2012</strong> was a year for taking stock after an invigorating and challenging 2011, our 40 th Birthday<br />

year.<br />

It was also a year when <strong>Lorien</strong> <strong>Novalis</strong> farewelled two of its longest serving and dedicated<br />

teacher/mentor/administrators, Norman Sievers and Bruce Thurgood. These will be hard shoes<br />

to fill.<br />

<strong>2012</strong> was also a year full of events, including the holding of significant conferences, including<br />

the Techne Conference, a <strong>Lorien</strong> <strong>Novalis</strong> initiative. There was also extensive discussion about,<br />

and negotiation regarding, the direction and ethos of <strong>Lorien</strong> <strong>Novalis</strong> <strong>School</strong> as it enters its 5 th<br />

Decade. Re-crafting a relevant and creative future for our <strong>School</strong>, while honouring and<br />

growing the palpable magic of <strong>Lorien</strong> is our most pressing task.<br />

The year ended with planning for the new <strong>Lorien</strong> <strong>Novalis</strong> Parents and Friends Association well<br />

under way. We also saw the <strong>Lorien</strong> Playgroup moving on to the school site.<br />

Design work was also undertaken for a more visible school sign on Old Northern Road, a new<br />

balustrade for the inside bus shelter and for an improved pathway from the upper car park to<br />

the lower classroom area.<br />
