Congratulations to our new College Chair, Mr Tim Donlan

It gives me pleasure to announce that the new Chair of Investigator College is Mr Tim Donlan. Tim is a solicitor practising in both Adelaide and Victor Harbor, bringing significant board, governance, and legal experience from the private business and not-for-profit sectors. He joined the Board in 2021 and previously served as Deputy Chair. Tim, along with his wife Carolyn, is a parent of two children attending the College and has strong ties to local sports and organisations, including Business Victor Harbor, where he also serves as a Board member.

Please join me in congratulating Tim on his appointment. I feel privileged and reassured to be working with Tim as we strive to transform our great College into an exceptional one.

Thank you, Reverend Ian Young

I have had the pleasure of working with Reverend Ian Young, our outgoing Board Chair, since he took on this demanding voluntary role in December 2020. Ian’s tenure as Chair has been marked by significant progress. For instance, we now have an effective system of Board sub-committees that have ensured our financial readiness to embark on our exciting new Masterplan. Ian has cultivated positive relationships with staff and families and has attended nearly every College event. I am pleased to share that Ian will continue to serve as a Board member. Please join me in expressing our gratitude to Ian for his exemplary governance and leadership.

By the time you read this article it is anticipated that our new safer and user-friendly carpark will be functional, to be closely followed by the completion of a separate staff parking area, freeing up additional places for our families. As you will see, work has also begun on Investigator’s substantial new centrepiece building – with benefits for all ELC- Year 12 students.
