Lindenow South Primary saved from closure; interim leadership secured as community celebrates reversal of term two relocation

Mr Bull said, "While a new school leader will be recruited, in the interim, the principal of Lindenow Primary School will oversee both schools for the remainder of the year. Recruitment for a new leader at the school will commence in term three."

"The announcement that all students would have to relocate for the start of term two was to me, a gross over reaction and I was never happy every option had been looked at. The school and wider community will, I am sure, be delighted with this news and I thank the Minister for his quick response and willingness to resolve the matter," said Mr Bull.
