Throughout his career Mr. Wilson was known as a principal who worked tirelessly to support students in reaching their potential and who supported staff in helping students. He embodies the caring committed community that all schools strive to achieve. Under his leadership, school staff were able to create positive school cultures which fostered academic success for students.

His passion for second languages is one of the key reasons why our school is named in his honour.
