Addressing the annual lunch of student leaders from Black Mountain, Guyra Central, Bald Blair, Ebor and Chandler primary schools, Mr Marshall urged the students on occasion to make the hard unpopular decisions that deliver the right outcome, rather than cultivating popularity with what might be a poor decision in the long term.
The annual Primary Leadership Luncheon at Rafters brings together small and not-so-small primary school leaders from around the district.
"This is an opportunity for student leaders across our schools to talk together about their leadership roles and their work in their schools," Black Mountain Primary School principal Belinda Baker said.
"It is also an opportunity for students to hear from leaders, speak about their leadership roles and the challenges they face."
Mrs Sue Brown, the director of public schools NSW, Northern Tablelands, joined the students and staff from the schools for the lunch.
