Details
DescriptionPrinted in colour in the November 20, 2002 'Leader'.
He had joined the college in 1973 as head of social studies, and went to Ngaruawahia as assistant principal in 1980. He returned to Heretaunga as principal in 1988; intending to stay 7 or 8 years, but 'sideways moves for principals dried up'.
He joined student exchange programme AFS NZ in 2003, as its national director. In the mid-90s, New Zealand was hosting around 500 students a year; numbers had fallen to around 200.
He would continue to work with a reunion committee, and oversee a new visioning process until a new principal was appointed, probably in the second term.
His deputy, Bruce Hart, was appointed in late February.
