Foreword<br />
It has been a very busy<br />
and successful year for<br />
Kalparrin following the<br />
launch of the new brand<br />
and the direction set<br />
following changes to<br />
the Board. Congratulations to all with a special<br />
thanks to Sarah Flanagan and Shaun Murphy<br />
who will be retiring from the Board after several<br />
years of energetic service, dedication and<br />
generosity to Kalparrin. I also extend a warm<br />
welcome to Christine Stott who comes to<br />
Kalparrin as our new General Manager with a<br />
great reputation from Ngala for her work there.<br />
Well done to all involved in preparing another<br />
full program of activities for our Kalparrin<br />
families. These wonderful events have provided<br />
fun and support for the dedicated parents and<br />
their children .The up and away day that I was<br />
able to attend is a personal highlight and it<br />
was an absolute delight to see the happy and<br />
excited children enjoying this event.<br />
My compliments and heartfelt thanks to all<br />
of the Kalparrin sponsors and supporters<br />
whose generosity has made our family support<br />
program, events and functions possible.<br />
Our Purpose<br />
To make a positive difference to the lives<br />
of children with special needs through the<br />
provision of practical and emotional family<br />
support.<br />
Our Vision<br />
Stronger families; Strong Communities;<br />
Celebrated Achievements<br />
Our values are:<br />
• Give hope,<br />
• Show and give respect,<br />
• Be responsive,<br />
• Be accountable, and<br />
• Empower others.<br />
These values guide everybody’s actions,<br />
communications, and decisions in our<br />
contributions at Kalparrin.<br />
We have plenty to focus on as we move into<br />
the next year, building strong partnerships that<br />
enable Kalparrin to bring additional depth to<br />
our service and support and our move to the<br />
new Perth Children’s Hospital. It is interesting<br />
times in the sector and I look forward to<br />
continuing my support of Kalparrin and being<br />
part of its growth as it continues to provide<br />
much valued support to our families.<br />
The Hon. Barbara Scott, Patron.<br />
