Congratulations Reverend Polly Butterworth

By Megan Krimmer, Headmistress

It was an absolute joy to be able to attend Mrs (now Reverend) Polly Butterworth's ordination last Saturday at St Andrew's Cathedral.

In what was very much an historic occasion for our school, Rev Butterworth is the first person to be ordained while serving as a member of staff at Abbotsleigh. At the service, our girls were represented by Charlotte Pearson (Year 12) who, together with a group of staff and I, felt very privileged to be at this special service.

We are delighted for Polly and her family, and warmly congratulate her. We know that Reverend Butterworth will continue to serve the Abbotsleigh community with prayer, dedication, warmth and great care.
