Trinity Grammar has appointed a new principal following the schoolboy haircut saga that claimed the scalp of its headmaster.
Despite a global hunt for its new headmaster, the private Kew school only had to look to northeast Victoria to find Cathedral College Wangaratta’s principal Adrian Farrer.
The search follows a tumultuous year for Trinity Grammar, which captured headlines after its deputy principal Rohan Brown was sacked for giving a student a haircut before school photos.

His departure led to student protests, community hall meetings and a unanimous vote of no confidence in the school council.
Mr Brown was finally returned to Trinity but principal Dr Michael Davies resigned shortly after, citing family reasons.
The new appointment follows a nine-month search for a new long-term principal, to replace interim head Phil de Young, who will complete his tenure at the end of the school year.
Mr Farrer said his appointment was a privilege that provided tremendous opportunity.
“Trinity Grammar is one of Australia’s finest schools, with a long, proud history of nurturing well-balanced boys who make great contributions to society,” Mr Farrer said.
“What I know of Trinity boys is that they are grounded, humble and respectful, as well as articulate and confident.”
Mr Farrer will become the school’s 12th headmaster and has previous experience at Camberwell Grammar and Penleigh and Essendon Grammar.
The new principal said he was looking forward to returning to Melbourne “and becoming part of the Trinity community, working with its talented staff right across the school, and meeting students and parents, present and past”.
