Williams also presented the technology report, flagging subscription renewals and hardware readiness ahead of the school year, and praised principals Jolene Hall and Renee Gillard for preparatory work. Hall and Gillard presented projected enrollment figures for the upcoming year (details recorded in principals' reports).
