He lists his priorities as.
1. Making sure there is a direct Hutt-Airport bus service.
2. Ensuring it accepts Snapper and appears on the real-time boards. In time, it should be part of the integrated ticketing network too.
3. He does not care if it is a commercial or a subsidised service run by the regional council.

He has been the principal since 2002 and in the years since has built a strong reputation both for himself and for the school.
I got to know Dave well during my time with the Hutt News. He was always approachable and extremely helpful. More importantly, there was never any doubt that he always had the best interests of his students at heart. Last year Appleyard won the education category in the Wellingtonian of the Year Awards for his focus on students with special needs.
I wish him all the best. Nicholas Boyack
