From the Headmaster

Wednesday 19 February 2020

Dear Parents and Guardians

I write to inform you I have tendered by resignation to Dr Wayne Tinsey,

Executive Director of EREA to take effect immediately.

In my time at St Kevin’s I have always tried to put the school before self and the
students’ wellbeing at the very top of my list of priorities. I believe the current
situation means that the best way to achieve this is to resign. I have a deep and
abiding passion for this school community and am very grateful for the 24 years
of nurturing I and my family have received. I extend my best wishes and
encouragement to the current student body to be ‘good people’, the way so
many who went before them have been across the decades.

In departing, I also recognise and thank the many remarkable people who have
worked alongside me at St Kevin’s. Their loyalty, diligence and astuteness have
allowed us to create the fine school that St Kevin’s is today.

My family, particularly my wife Kate, has been an integral part of this community
and I wish to express my sincere and everlasting appreciation for what they have
sacrificed at different times to allow me to be Headmaster. My family’s HEYINGTON
wellbeing and safety and long term happiness have also been factors in my Moonga Road
decision. Toorak 3142

My thanks to the many Old Collegians, past parents and parents who have
extended the warmth of friendship and support to our family across the years.
May I particularly thank those who have responded with such generosity of WATERFORD
