Celebrating a decade of leadership: Principal Mrs Judith Tudball steps down from ASA Management Committee

POSTED August 14 2025 , News, Parents & Community

After 10 years of dedicated service, our Principal Mrs Judith Tudball has stepped down from the Anglican Schools Australia (ASA) Management Committee.

Mrs Tudball has been a guiding presence on the Committee, recently serving as President, bringing together principals, chaplains and educational leaders from across the country to support and shape the future of Anglican education.

Her decade-long contribution was formally recognised at the recent ASA Annual Conference, when Mrs Tudball was honoured with a special award acknowledging her outstanding commitment and leadership within the ASA community.

“It has been an immense honour to serve on the Anglican Schools Australia (ASA) Management Committee since 2016. I am particularly proud of my time as President throughout the years of the pandemic, when we worked to support and connect over 160 member schools across Australia throughout such a challenging time,” said Mrs Tudball.

Held in Brisbane, with the theme Immersion: Living Our Anglican Identity, the event brought together more than 250 leaders from Anglican schools across Australia for three days of reflection, learning and celebration. Together with our Head of Boarding Mrs Kellie Douglas, Mrs Tudball presented at the conference and shared valuable insights on how we embrace and live our Anglican faith within our boarding community.

Mrs Tudball’s leadership has been marked by a deep commitment to faith-based education, inclusion and service; values that resonate strongly within the St Mary’s community.

“Serving on the ASA Management Committee has deepened my belief in the power of Anglican education to nurture faith, celebrate diversity and inspire service. At St Mary’s, we strive to be a community where every student is invited to grow in character and compassion, grounded in the inclusive spirit of Anglican tradition,” said Mrs Tudball.

While Mrs Tudball has stepped back, her legacy of service and leadership will continue to inspire both ASA and the St Mary’s community. We thank her for her contribution.
