If you’re a regular listener of 89.7’s School of Thought program I need not tell you that there’s some pretty talented kids in our community. A lot of the credit in bringing out the best in young people surely must go to their educators, people like the principal of Lake Joondalup Baptist College. Daryl Pollard thinks outside the square when it comes to education, most recently swapping his role as principal with students for a day. That’s right, he attended the college as a student while the students shared the principal’s duties.
