performing jurisdiction in our country. Jim’s operating style was completely focused on collaboration and teamwork, and I commend him for that. I believe he has left our system and the directorate in a better position than when he started, and I am particularly pleased with the initiatives that he was most responsible for, including the introduction and consolidation of the school network model, which is now organised across our territory, as well as developing empowerment of schools to better direct the resources to where they can make the greatest difference to students.

The directorate’s motto was essentially Jim’s motto: everyone matters; every child in every school matters.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

The Assembly adjourned at 5.14 pm.
