In particular, we would like to acknowledge Russell Watson, Acting Principal, and Principal Sheryl M. Skewes at Beaumaris Primary School, for their very geniune and sincere support of survivors, families, friends and community members creating a LOUD fence. Which at their suggestion, is on their most public/visible fenceline. In all our interactions, they have been very proactive in ensuring a safe experience for all. Our thoughts are with them, the current BPS staff and the BPS community, as news and stories coming out of the Board of Inquiry continue to be shocking, for them and all of us.
We have already shared this with Kathleen Foley, the Chair of the Board of Inquiry, how outstanding their support has been.
