New head of Salmond College appointed

The Commission of Knox College and Salmond College is pleased to advise that Mr Maurice Jackways has been appointed Head of Salmond College effective from February 2014.

Mr Jackways has been Deputy Principal and Principal of Mt Aspiring College, Wanaka.

More recently he headed up planning, design and development of Ormiston Senior College in south east Auckland from a greenfield site. This school has introduced innovative teaching methods and developed an enviable reputation since it opened three years ago under Mr Jackways. He has a reputation of successfully working directly with young people and challenging them in academic, cultural, sporting and community endeavours.

The Commission looks forward to welcoming Maurice as he takes up his position with us early in 2014 and moving into the Salmond Lodge with his wife Sally.
