Cover design
Our cover design for the Annual Report 2012-2013 continues our theme portraying the visual metaphor for the Directorate’s Strategic Plan 2010-2013: Everyone matters. ‘Ripples in the pond’ portrays the visual metaphor for the Plan, that schools are interconnected systems like ripples in a pond (Andy Hargreaves and Dean Fink).
