Known for her compassionate leadership, Ms Drysdale earned admiration during the COVID-19 pandemic when she organised a personal walkathon—passing students’ homes on her daily commute to raise funds for vaccine research. Her efforts became a symbol of the school’s community spirit and dedication to student wellbeing, even during the most challenging times.
