Condolences to Ken's family on his passing. As Principal of Temuka High School he was a man of vision and drive, and able to 'think outside the box'. He introduced a number of new initiatives during his time, and the school enjoyed a time of stability and growth. He was also a leading light in the Aoraki Principals' Association. He gave a life time of service to education.
May he rest in peace.

Condolences to all his family at this sad time.
