Appointed as principal

Umina Public School deputy principal Mr Matthew Ward has been appointed the principal of Wyong Grove public school commencing in January next year, according to principal Mr John Blair.

"Mr Ward has been one of the deputy principals at this school since last year and has contributed significantly to the effectiveness of Umina Public School," Mr Blair said.

"Mr Ward will certainly be missed by the staff, students and parents alike but I am sure they will all wish him well as he prepares to take up his position as principal of his own school.

"A replacement for Mr Ward will be announced by the Department of Eduction's staffing unit later this year."

Mr Ward currently teaches students in the school's technology room.
