On the evening of Thursday 28 April 140 people were treated to a festive and fun evening in the Cardinal Pavilion. The occasion was a farewell dinner to mark the retirement of the Bursar, Neil Roberts.

Neil commenced his service to the school in 1985, and his 20 years at the school were typified by commitment, dedication and fine leadership in all matters.

The evening’s speakers highlighted those qualities as well as others such as Neil’s fun-loving and generous nature, poetry and ode writing, mentoring role, tennis prowess, conference speaking and singing. Also mentioned was the fact that during the 20 years many major school building projects were undertaken and accomplished, hence the evening’s theme of ‘Hey Big Spender’!

The community extended its very warm appreciation and good wishes to Neil and Helen Roberts and looks forward to a continuing association in the years to come.
