Made a start on revamping the physical environment of the school which had been badly neglected, re-established the Meander Valley Cluster of principals, began getting to know one of the most eclectic and talented group of staff and students it has ever been my privilege to work with; prior to going on extended sick leave where I find myself currently.

This was my magnum opus.For two challenging, rewarding and always interesting school terms I was 'home' again. During my brief tenure I re-established the N.E. Principal's Group; was the first principal to attend a Survival Camp, established a Trade Centre Governance Group, ensured the long term viability of the Environment Centre, worked with key community stakeholders to block a proposed health and aesthetic risk to the school and community, re-established the school's Latin motto: Prosum et Semper Honeste, ran staff professional learning sessions on topics such as: Differentiation of Curriculum, Quality Questioning, hosted all N.E. schools for a combined moderation day and had the privilege of working with some of the most dedicated and clever students and teachers for two terms.

Went through the mine disaster and ensuing exposure in the media. During my tenure: had a new school and community library built, a new early childhood centre established catering for 5-7 year olds, worked with staff to master 3 different core curricula (Essential Learnings, Tasmanian Curriculum & Australian Curriculum. Was instrumental in the establishment of the first Child and Family Centre in the state. Had the privilege of working with some of the friendliest and dedicated students and staff in the state in one of the most generous and genuine communities in Tasmania.
