This week it's Pukekohe North School's new principal - Jim Stafford-Bush. Jim has a reputation for transforming poorly performing schools into prosperous profiles. And since this is his last run as principal, Jim has his eye on the prize. His driving force is the potential that he sees in the students. He said his goals for this year are for the children to be engaged, respectful and proud of who they are, and where they come from. Good luck from the team at Franklin County News. We hope you create some more brilliant citizens of Franklin - like yourself!
