principal to leave on top of his<br />
game. It doesn’t happen very<br />
often to receive aletter from<br />
the Minister after an ERO<br />
reporthas beencompleted, so<br />
it was areal credittoget that<br />
before he left.<br />
‘‘It’s certainlysome big shoes<br />
to fill,but it’s an exciting<br />
opportunityfor anew<br />
principal to takeonahighly<br />
