A message from the Sturt Review Committee Chairman, Jennifer Bott

Thank you for your interest in the Sturt Review. On this website you will find the Brief for our review and details of our Sturt Review Panel members.

I am thrilled that we've been able to assemble a committed group of people with such a range of skills relevant to the future of Sturt Gallery and Studios. We will post updates on our research and deliberations as well as notice of any public fora which we may conduct as we move towards clear, future options.

Currently, all panel members are reading and reflecting on the huge number of emails and submissions we have received, and continue to receive. We're also conducting individual discussions as well as meeting as a panel with key stakeholders. Our panel members are scattered across Australia so coming together in person needs careful planning. We also meet more regularly over Zoom. All senior managers of both Winifred West Schools and Sturt are being interviewed as well as other key players.

On a personal note, I feel very honoured that the Board of Governors has asked me to Chair this important review. My background as many of you know is in arts management and leadership, education and philanthropy. I have been aware of and have interacted with Sturt for more than twenty years and I seek to bring both my knowledge and commitment to Sturt’s past and future to this role.

We welcome your insights and questions which should be directed to srcfeedback@sturt.nsw.edu.au or else you can leave a comment on the website.

With kind regards

Jenny
