Dr. John D Baildam is Newbold’s second longest serving Principal. He worked tirelessly and enthusiastically in a variety of roles, including his tenure as Principal for over 40 years, faithfully serving students from across the Trans-European Division and beyond.
Of his many achievements as Principal, most notable is his commitment to securing Newbold’s reputation for academic quality and rigour, and for driving the “never-to-be-forgotten” campus experience. Known for his optimistic nature, Baildam described his role as Principal since 2014 as one he has “relished” with “all the joys and occasional challenges.”
Reflecting on the future and the new chapter Newbold has entered, Baildam recently made an appeal to all “to exhibit qualities exemplified by our predecessors – faith, vision, sacrifice, commitment and perseverance.”
