Yet another member of the elite school’s governing body has resigned in frustration.

wrote to individual members of the school council asking them to stand North aside as president and to commence an independent investigation into the headmaster’s complaint. They reminded councillors of their duty to the school community to act with independence in dealing with the conflict between North and Sampson.They also complained that North had told “a number of external parties” that in May, the headmaster was actively urging parents not to vote for North’s re-election.

In subsequent correspondence on September 28, in light of the council’s refusal to act, the group foreshadowed an application to the NSW Supreme Court seeking orders to stand North aside and to dissolve the entire council. These are serious people. Negus is chairman of Dexus, a public company with $45 billion of property assets under management. Wakefield Evans is a longstanding director of $800 billion asset manager Macquarie Group, where she chairs the governance committee. Dawson is the managing partner of McKinseyCompany in Australia. Vicars is a billionaire courtesy of his rollercoaster hedge fund Caledonia, and donated $10 million to Cranbrook for the construction of its new Vicars Centenary Building.

This is his determination despite his relationship with the headmaster apparently being untenable, that the headmaster’s record is exceptional, and that any search for a new headmaster would take 12 months or longer.Entering his 13th year on the school council, North doesn’t seem to comprehend this, but school councillors are eminently replaceable. They just about grow on trees . World-class educators do not.
