Grey Secondary needs a humanitarian as headmaster, so we beg for a candidate (male or female) that will act in the interest of our Grey boys and not always be on the attack or in some form of retaliation. Please don't get another headmaster with an ego problem either. A strong authority figure is necessary, but if the ego is in the way, history will just keep on repeating itself.
The new headmaster should have insight, vision and foresight. Foresight is very important, because if a person can't see a possible future outcome, actions will be taken incorrectly, which is exactly what has happened to date.
Open-mindedness is another quality our new headmaster should possess. A headmaster cannot be narrow-minded, but rather modern with innovative ideas. Being considerate is also very important in a headmaster.
The new headmaster must NOT be an Old Grey. Bring in new blood with high values and standards. Just look what the school-grounds look like in the afternoons. We don't want our school to still be called a dump. Parked cars too are not safe from soccer balls.
The new headmaster must be forgiving and a problem solver, not creator of such.
Grey's new headmaster must definitely be a NON-SMOKER. Besides always smelling like and ashtray, smokers only live for the next smoke break and really don't care about anything else. Smokers can't handle stress the way non-smokers can. A smoker has a don't-care attitude, but above all, please go see how the teachers smoke outside their classrooms at the primary school between classes. Not only does this create a bad image and example for our boys, but our boys have to pass these teachers several times a day, causing a huge health risk. A smoker should not at all be appointed at an institution that wants to acclaim respectability. Anyone that wants to have a successful institution knows that appointing a smoker is a bad idea merely because they can't provide the necessary leadership and/or support--the next smoke counts too much.

While on the topic, a few members of the controlling-body should be fired too. They are truly narrow-minded bastards with no problem-solving abilities, consideration and foresight.
Ja assseblief, ons wil 'n skoolhoof hê wat 'n mense mens is en nie in sy kantoor wegkruip nie omdat hy 'n geleerde is wat nie met mense kan verkeer nie. 'n Skoolhoof moet darem die 1ste span se wedstryde bywoon, nie onsigbaar die skool probeer bestuur in die agtergrond vanuit sy kantoor soos 'n robot nie.
ReplyDeleteIn most high school classes we don't work and if there are classes where work is done, it is only for a few minutes up to 10 minutes. If we could get a new principal who could ensure that the evening classes are removed and the teachers could actually school us during the day, we would support him all the way. We never see our families anymore or have time to ourselves just to get thoughts in tact and it shouldnt be that way. My dad told me how he enjoyed school and the amount of free time he had because of a good princpal. We also want to have it that way. Most boys are overtired and have no time to themselves to just be in thought or to think about life.
