It has been an honour to serve as the Principal of Aitchison College for eight absorbing and eventful years. Libby and I have made many friends and felt privileged to be a part of one the most remarkable schools in the world. I have enjoyed every day working and collaborating with a highly professional management team, devoted staff and very talented boys. We have seen our facilities grow in sophistication and our reputation enhanced through exceptional student outcomes. Importantly, we have also become a national school. Sadly, no one can stay forever. While there is never a 'right time', it is a 'good time' to depart. Aitchison could not be in a better position. A Search Committee has been formed and the process for finding a successor is underway.
