So sad to hear the news today. Mr Agnew inspired a generation of compassionate and committed young teachers in the early days of New-bridge, he fostered at atmosphere of excellence and yet still encouraged warmth and fun. His vision and courage brought the dream to life at a time when it wasn't easy to dream of peace and reconciliation. He inspired so many of us to become great teachers & school leaders. Thank you Mr Agnew. Your legacy lives on. Deepest sympathies to his family & friends on the loss of such a caring and charismatic man.

Peter, you were one of the best. A firm but fair principal and someone that always had a kind word for you, should you have met him around the school. Newbridge was never the same after you retired. May you Rest In Peace.
