As a school principal, Nathaniel Train was feted for his success. Now he’s at the centre of the 'ruthless' killing of two young police officers
. Around the time of Train’s heart attack, almost half of its teaching positions were empty. The primary school also faced problems, although not as many.
Some community members were also supportive. “I thought he was very passionate about education, wanting to create real change,” said one resident who had several conversations with Train about schooling. “He was obviously frustrated because he found the system wasn’t doing anything for the kids here.”
In March this year, he sent 16 emails to NSW Department of Education secretary Georgina Harrisson in two weeks. They were cc’d to multiple other people. One recipient said they betrayed a fragile mental state; “They were quite out there,” the person said. “His mental health deteriorated post-Walgett.”
After leaving Walgett, Train moved around. He was last spotted in Dubbo in mid-December last year, but family members kept hearing from him until October. A missing person report was made on December 4 from Walgett. Police would not confirm if it was made by Train’s wife. In a statement, the NSW Department of Education offered its condolences to the Queensland Police and the families and friends of those impacted by the tragic incident in rural Queensland overnight.
