| Subject: Orange school principal apologises for 'village idiots' comments Thu Aug 28, 2014 9:35 pm | |
| The principal of an Orange primary school has apologised for calling his students "morons" and "village idiots" in a staff newsletter, admitting his attempt at humour was "misguided and inappropriate".
In a letter sent home to parents and carers at Calare Public School on Thursday afternoon, Chris Cundy apologised "for any hurt or grief I have caused anybody in the school and wider Calare community".
"I have made a serious error of judgement," he said. "My heart is with every student at Calare. It always has been and always will be.
"This school is committed to supporting its students."
Mr Cundy's comments were made as he attempted to encourage teachers to identify students to take part in an upcoming mental health and social skills workshop.
