A heartfelt goodbye from Mr. Hamid....



Dear Fairclough Families,
                  It is with a bitter sweet heart that I write to inform you that as of September 2016, I will no longer be the Proud Principal of this incredible place Ellen Fairclough Public School. I have accepted a secondment with the Ministry of Education as a Student Achievement Officer scheduled to begin on September 6th, 2016. While I am looking forward to the new challenge that this opportunity will bring I will miss tremendously the students, staff and community of the place I have called home for the last three years, Ellen Fairclough! My time here has been a highlight of my career, filled with valuable learning and the building of many wonderful relationships with many community members. The staff at Ellen Fairclough is among the best in York Region, and the students are unrivaled in their kindness and thirst for knowledge. This is no doubt a result of the work that you as parents are doing to raise such fine young members of our society. I want to take this time to thank each and every one of you for helping to make me feel comfortable in this learning environment and more importantly for trusting us in the education of your children. The new Principal of Ellen Fairclough will be Mr. Kurt Chin who is currently at Markham Gateway P.S/Boxwood P.S. Mr. Chin brings with him many years of experience and knowledge that will no doubt continue the great learning that has been happening here. I wish you all good fortune and that your dreams and hopes for yourself and your children are realized.

Thank you again,

Mr. Mohamed Hamid

Principal, Ellen Fairclough P.S.
