MISSIVE FROM WWS GOVERNORS

 

Sturt Gallery & Studios
Dear ……,
Please see below a message from Clementine Allan, Chair of the Board of Governors of Winifred West Schools Limited
 
Dear Sturt Community,
Thank you for the overwhelming interest and goodwill shown in response to the establishment of Sturt Gallery and Studios Limited. The level of engagement has been remarkable, and your continued support is both heartwarming and highly appreciated. 
As part of progressing Sturt’s establishment as an independent entity, the Company Members of Winifred West Schools Limited met last week for an Extraordinary General Meeting in order to endorse the resolutions required to support Sturt’s independence. 
We are now in the final phase of completing the legal, commercial and governance steps required to complete Sturt’s transition. This is a careful and detailed process, and the Sturt interim Board, together with expert advisers, are focused on finalising the governance arrangements for the inaugural Sturt Board and the new operating framework.
Accordingly, there will not be a meeting of the new Sturt entity on 7 February while this work is completed. 
A further announcement will be provided as soon as possible, including an overview of the governance and leadership framework that will guide the next phase of Sturt’s development.
Thank you once again for your patience and support as Sturt enters this next chapter. 
Kind regards,
Clementine Allan 
Chair
Board of Governors
