W.E. Gowling to Receive New Principal for September

Principal Bernie Finnerty leaving after six years

Parents learned at the School Council meeting on 4 September that principal Bernie Finnerty has been transferred to Hopewell School as of September. Having served at Gowling for six years, Finnerty has been witness and participant in significant changes in the school, many dictated by the province. As these photos will attest however, it wasn't all serious......
