It is with great pleasure that we formally introduce 𝗠𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗯𝘀 as the Union Schools’ new Estate Manager.

A proud Old Unionite, Class of 1992, Mr Jacobs’ connection to the school runs deep. His son, Matthew, is currently in Grade 7 and his daughter, Sarah, matriculated last year – 𝘢 𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘑𝘢𝘤𝘰𝘣𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺’𝘴 𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺. We are delighted to welcome him back to campus in this important role.

Mr Jacobs brings with him valuable experience as a production manager, along with extensive expertise in construction – skills that are exceptionally well suited to the dynamic and multifaceted nature of estate management at a busy school.

We look forward to the energy, knowledge and dedication he will bring to the role and we are excited to have him as part of the Union team once again.

There are very few people we could imagine stepping into the well-worn shoes of Mr Kingwill as Estate Manager, but in 𝗠𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗯𝘀 we have every confidence that we have found a most worthy successor.

With a smile and what looked suspiciously like the keys to the entire kingdom in hand, Mr Kingwill officially entrusted Mr Jacobs with his new domain today.

We have no doubt that under his watchful eye, everything will remain in excellent order – 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘬𝘦𝘺𝘴 𝘶𝘯𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘴!
