Since retiring from her position as Headmaster of St Ives, Mrs Rowena Lee has continued to share her passion for books and reading with teachers, parents and students.
When speaking to parents, Rowena highlights the important role reading aloud plays in developing children’s vocabulary, comprehension and imagination. And how parents can enrich their children’s lives and learning by making books and reading part of home culture.

Last year, Rowena returned to St Ives for a presentation titled ‘How to raise Readers and Writers’. In it she explained the role of fiction and non-fiction texts, how to recognise and assist reluctant readers and the importance of developing writing skills.

Rowena would like to share this information throughout our School community and all Old Sydneians, regardless of their association with St Ives, are invited to attend her presentation on Thursday, 31 August 2023 at 6:30pm in the School Hall at St Ives.
This presentation is designed for families with children aged 0-14 years and will include reading guides as well as strategies to develop positive reading habits.
