Hawea Flat School principal Sue Heath is getting set to feel the wind on her face while raising funds for a new community hall. But once will be enough for Hawea Flat School principal Sue Heath, who despite having second thoughts, is going to put her fear aside and jump out of a plane. It began with ‘‘one of those moments’’ when you say something ‘‘and afterwards wish you hadn’t said it’’, Mrs Heath said. Mrs Heath moved from Dunedin to Hawea Flat in 1998, taking on the role of principal when there were only two classrooms at the school. Some of her colleagues were saying she was ‘‘mad’’ to come to Hawea Flat.
