The principal of the private college where two children had their throats accidentally slit on stage is to retire.
St Kentigern's head of college, Steve Cole, has announced he will be leaving his position next year after eight years at the East Auckland church school.
In a statement released by the Presbyterian school's trust board, Mr Cole was praised for leading the college through significant growth and change.
"We look forward to appropriately recognising Mr Cole's contribution in due course, but we also want to take this opportunity now to thank him for the leadership, commitment and dedicated service he has given to Saint Kentigern and its special tradition in education," said Saint Kentigern Trust board chairman Dr Bruce Goodfellow.
There was no mention of the highly publicised incident where two students suffered wounds during a performance of Sweeney Todd.
