Message from the 

Acting Director

Hello everyone,

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as I replace Chris as Acting Director during term two, while he takes well earned Sabbatical leave.

My name is David Condon and I am an experienced educator having spent nearly fifty years in Catholic schools and offices. I have been a principal in both primary and secondary schools over a period of twenty years and then worked in the Catholic Schools Office in Lismore for twenty years also, firstly as the Assistant Director for School Resources Services - overseeing Human Resources, Industrial Relations, Finance Capital Works and ICT. In my last eight years there I was the Director.

My role, while replacing Chris, is a simple one. My job will be to support the work already planned for term two, which will be facilitated by the various members of the Leadership Team of the office.

Apart from that, I will handle any of the left field situations that can occur in any organisation such as ours which depends on human interactions to function effectively. I will also represent Chris at the various meetings that he would regularly attend.

I would love to visit as many schools as I can during my short time as Acting Director, but that will depend on circumstances.

I am very much looking forward to my twelve weeks in Armidale and wish to assure everyone that the mantra for the term will be - business as usual.

God bless,

David Condon

Acting Director of Schools
