"Our paths have crossed and as we move on in different directions I farewell you with Namaste."
Some last memories that Rob takes with him from STC:
- A Xavier old-boy completed his bachelor or science degree and started relief teaching at STC in 1982
- Set off a starter's gun in the staffroom once - the joke wasn't understood by all.
- Fundraised for Apple 2e 128k ram - $1000 each
- Taking reports from handwritten events to computer generated
- Outdoor ed trips with Terry Bligh
- Ski trips to Mt Hutt
- Coaching the school's first XI for 10 years and having two NZ reps coming out of his coaching
- Serving on the Board of Governors
- Chair of the PPTA
- Biology field trips to Temple Basin
- A retreat to Melbourne with Marty Taylor
- A recent trip to China with Stephen Kennedy and Jenny
Groups to thank:
- The students for challenging with their unique personalities
- The office staff and learning support staff for tireless efforts .
- Maths staff teaching colleagues who have provided guidance, help and inspiration.
- Graeme Cox - X-HOD Maths for his many years as a great friend - many others staff mentioned personally in his farewell speech at a staff function.
