Contextual Information

Reverend Henn was appointed the School Chaplain for the first year of the School, supporting the foundational links between the Anglican Diocese of Bunbury and the Bishop of Bunbury's stated aims for the purpose of a Church School.
See page 9 of "The Bonifacian", 1972:
"A Church School is founded on the belief that those who come to that School are Soul, Mind and Body, and that all three parts of man's (sic) nature need to be educated, trained to give their best in life."
