Guernsey's Education Committee Welcomes Two New Non-Voting Advisors
Amanda Hibbs and Trevor Wakefield have joined Guernsey's Committee for Education, Sport & Culture (ESC) as non-voting members. Both will take on the same responsibilities as ordinary committee members but will not participate in formal votes.
Their appointments bring decades of combined experience in education, communications, and governance to the ESC's work.
Amanda Hibbs currently leads communications for Guernsey Mind and previously served as Director of Communications and Events for the Guernsey 2023 Island Games. With over 30 years in marketing, events, and public relations, she aims to offer an external viewpoint to the committee. She has expressed her intention to foster balanced discussions and contribute to well-considered decisions.
Trevor Wakefield, founder of the Guernsey Adult Literacy Project, also brings extensive experience in education and governance. A former Chair of Governors at Blanchelande College, he has worked as a Senior Lecturer, Vice Principal, and Principal of the College of Further Education. His background in the arts and hospitality sectors will further support the committee's deliberations.
Deputy Paul Montague, President of the ESC, welcomed the new members and highlighted the value of their expertise. The committee anticipates benefiting from their insights as it addresses key issues in education, sport, and culture.
Both Hibbs and Wakefield will attend meetings, engage in discussions, and provide input—though they will not cast votes on formal matters.
The ESC Committee now includes two new non-voting members with strong professional backgrounds. Their roles will focus on advising and challenging discussions without formal voting rights. The committee expects their contributions to enhance decision-making in the months ahead.
