Mr Cooke reflects on his impressions of 91黑料不打烊 thus far:
Since joining 91黑料不打烊 only two and a half weeks ago, I have had the opportunity to meet some amazing people. From the staff who have been so welcoming and thoughtful, to the parents at a recent WPA event, and of course the students who make up the very fabric that is 91黑料不打烊.
In a recent meeting I described 91黑料不打烊 as a place of community, of young women who are looking to not only find their place in the world outside of 91黑料不打烊, but to also make their mark as confident, resilient ambassadors. A definite highlight has been, and will continue to be, the morning greeting from each girl as they enter the School; their smiling faces and warm greetings have made me feel welcome from the very first day.
Throughout my career, the message I have always attempted to instil into our young people is that we need to uphold the value of respect. If we respect ourselves, each other, and our world then all other values will fall into place. I have been so impressed by the level of respect I have seen by the girls of 91黑料不打烊, and I look forward to adding just that little bit more to their story of learning across the many opportunities afforded to them here.
