Mr. Coombes heading to Kilkenny College

 

It was with much shock and sadness that the announcement recently was greeted, that our esteemed Principal Ian Coombes was to leave the School in February 2010, to take up the vacant Principals position at Kilkenny College.

While everyone associated with the School is sorry to see Ian depart after a career at the School spanning over 35 years, both he and his family will leave with everyone’s best wishes for his next challenge, Principal of the largest boarding school in the country.

Ian’s commitment to BGS as a pupil, a teacher and Principal has been exceptional, and he will depart having left an indelible mark on the School.

The process of finding a replacement will commence in December, not an easy task to fill Ian’s shoes and we wish the Board well in choosing a new Principal for our School!

 


Mr. Ian Coombes
