Mark Cabena 1989-2007
We record with great sadness the death of Mark, one
of our Form 6 students, on 24 August. Mark died suddenly due to a heart
defect unknown to him or his family. He was a fine, happy young man with
many talents, especially academic, sporting and musical. He enjoyed
rugby, played guitar in a band and was involved in the scouting
movement. He had been elected a prefect and was looking forward to the
role.
Our deepest sympathies are with his family, Peter, Kate and Karl, and
all of his friends and relatives. He is greatly missed by us all.
Thanks to Mark's friends for the picture on the
left. The picture on the right is of Mark playing music in school
assembly.

Welcome back!
A big welcome back to everybody and a special welcome
to new pupils and staff. We have been busy over the summer replacing
windows in half the school, installing CCTV in the grounds and some
areas inside the building, upgrading the fire safety systems, replacing
our water heaters, re-felting roofs to eliminate leaks, installing a new
computer network in the Technical and Crafts Building, replacing the
computers in the main ICT facilities (one network is complete and the
other is ordered for replacement in the near future - our commitment to
cutting edge technology), reflooring in the library and kitchen areas,
along with general painting and maintenance. Apologies with the few days
delay in finishing some of these jobs and the consequent disruption,
especially of the Gym. Thanks to Administrator Mr J. Davis and to Dr J.
Reid of the Grounds and Property Committee for coordinating all of the
work. |

Mr J. Hickey
Mr J. Hickey retired during the summer after 37 years
teaching Chemistry, Science, Mathematics, and Applied Mathematics at The
High School. During that period he also held a variety of positions as
Year Head and Coordinator of the pre-university Upper Sixth Year,
Assistant Principal in charge of curriculum coordination, timetabler,
scholarship coordinator, pupil stationery manager, school trophies
coordinator, Fire Officer, and staff representative on the Board of
Governors and its committees. We thank Mr Hickey for his dedicated
service to the school and wish him well in a long and happy retirement.
He is pictured left on the occasion of the
