He has created such a poor culture and if you are an advocate from your child you are a problem.
He is a bully and incredibly unprofessional. He runs his staff down to parents and makes the most unprofessional inappropriate comments about parents and staff.
He has manipulated the board to ensure he runs it and they have no say or back bone to stand up for what’s right . The head of the board has no idea and needs to go just as much as he does.
John has run the school in to the ground all he cares about is the stupid car park . The children have been waiting years for the bike track he promised them and that has been fund raised for. ( where has that money gone)
He has the mentality of I’m the principal I can do what I want and has been heard saying this to parents and staff.
This same attitude is seen in his dealing of behaviour . He has a very punitive way when on the very rare chance he deals with issues.
The teachers have voiced the same concerns that parents have but he bullies them to be quiet or to leave.
Wouldn’t recommend sending your child to this school which is a shame it has so much potential to be amazing school just needs the right leader.
