Calare Public School principal Chris Cundy's letter of apology

You may have seen media coverage resulting from an internal staff email which included inappropriate comments about a new school program to support students.

I have apologised to staff.  My attempt at humour was misguided and inappropriate.

I apologise for any hurt or grief I have caused anybody in the school and wider Calare community.

I have made a serious error of judgement.  My heart is with every student at Calare.  It always has been and always will be.

Parents lash out at principal: 'some people just don't have a heart'

This school is committed to supporting its students.  The new initiative highlighted was one the school had chosen to undertake as part of our efforts to assist all students.

I wish to assure you that Calare Public is a caring school that looks after the needs of every student in a respectful way.

I am sorry that I have blurred that image through my inappropriate written comments.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Chris Cundy

Principal Calare Public School
