PRINCIPAL'S FAREWELL Message

I have written regular messages for the website during my sixteen years as Principal of Thurston Community College.  However, this is without doubt the most difficult of them all. 

I look back with great fondness on my time as Principal.  I have always seen it as a huge honour to be the leader of a community which is shaping the lives of young people and through them, the society in which we live.  Of course, being a Headteacher can be tough, lonely at times, daunting and downright difficult, but it can also be one of the most rewarding jobs imaginable.  I have so many things to be grateful for; not many Headteachers can say that they have an entire staff team that they love working with.  I will always remember our fun times and shared laughter, as well as our struggles.  I thank my colleagues for their friendship and support, for their loyalty and for their trust.   .....
