I am astounded and very disappointed for the Principal of Yipinya School in Alice Springs, Dr Gavin Morris. He has been charged with allegedly physically assaulting some students in 2023. 

It is not for me to speculate on the pros and cons of what is happening at the moment, other than to reaffirm that people in charge of institutions – in this case a major school organisation – are, these days, walking on eggshells.

People in positions of authority have to be especially careful of the way they go about fulfilling their leadership briefs. 

I feel for Dr Morris at this time.
