Developments at the college

Mr Missen was succeeded as Principal by Ernest Bathurst in January 1976 and this saw the start of a period of expansion, and as new courses were introduced the number of students attending college increased. This in turn created a need for additional student accommodation, both residential and teaching together with improvements on farms and an increase in staff. He made changes to the day-to-day running of the college and encouraged staff to gain additional skills and qualifications.
