Principal speaker

The guest speaker at the Warkworth Rebus Club’s November meeting was David Macleod, principal of Mahurangi College. His subject was “The Changing Face of Education”. He said the college now had 1300 pupils, and this was expected to rise to 1400 in 2018. Although he said he could retire, he still looks forward to going to work every day. He said how much he admired his students. They still enjoy risk taking, learning, reading, problem solving, sport, drama, music and adventure, and they are respectful, especially of the past, Mr Macleod said. He added students worry about the future, especially for the planet we all live on.
