Leaving Balmacewen

By Andrew Hunter | Posted: Monday October 20, 2025
Last month I informed the Board of Trustees that this will be my last year at Balmacewen.

Kia ora koutou katoa

I'm in my 25th year as principal at Balmacewen and in my 32nd year of principalship and it seems like a good time to finish.

Balmacewen has been the most significant and rewarding part of my career and I will be forever grateful for the experience. It has been a wonderful privilege and I sincerely thank everyone who has helped me along the way.

There will no doubt be time later in the term to comment and reflect, but in the meantime there's plenty of work to do as we enjoy Term 4 together!

The Board is currently in the selection process and I'm sure more will come out in the next few weeks.

Ngā mihi mahana
