"There were only 295 students in years 7-12 when I first started high school in 1977. By virtue of the school's size we did not have a great range of subjects, however this did mean we had relatively small class sizes which gave us great access to our teachers. We all knew the basics and we learnt to think for ourselves" |

Completing all of the allotted schoolwork and still finding time to play touch football on the oval at lunchtime and cricket after school was, in retrospect, good practice for my working life advising companies on mega-mergers and multi-million dollar takeovers. I remember Mr Hopkins giving me some advice which I still use for myself and junior solicitors today – "good enough" will get you through sometimes but, with a little extra conscientious effort and thought, your work can be the best. |
