Private boys’ school Cranbrook has appointed 13 new members to its council after a feud between multimillionaire eastern suburbs identities went public last year and triggered a mass resignation from its governing body.
In a letter to parents on Friday night, the school said all of the 13 new councillors supported the co-ed move occurring in 2026, with girls admitted in year 7 and year 11 that year. Outgoing council members had a final meeting on December 30 when they rubber-stamped the selection made by Nugent and Massy-Greene.Nine of the 13 new council members are current parents at the school and of the 15 total board members, seven are women.
Other councillors, who also have affiliations with the Anglican church, include St John’s church in Darlinghurst rector Dr Matthew Wilcoxen and Right Reverend Stuart Robinson from St Michael’s in Vaucluse and St Peter’s in Watson’s Bay.
