Not only did she take on the role of principal at Oamaru North School during Alert Level 4 lockdown, the school she was leading was under limited statutory management. But she has navigated both challenges successfully, and the future is looking bright after the limited statutory management intervention placed on the school last year was revoked this week. The school was first placed under statutory management in November 2017. Mrs Honeywill, who was principal at Waitati School for five years, replaced acting principal Sam Winterbourne, who took over when Peter Roundhill left last year after several years in charge. It had been a rewarding experience to lead the school out of statutory management, but it was a "solid team and community effort", she said.
