President of Armidale Teachers Association Michael Sciffer said since the announcement of the amalgamation, teachers and principals have worked 'tirelessly' to make the new college a success.

"Permanent and temporary teacher positions remain vacant, including the principal and there are regularly shortages of appropriately qualified teachers to replace staff on leave for training or illness."
