Tribute to former principal

A Peninsula teacher Mr Robert Landow has paid tribute to former Woy Woy Public School principal Mr Bob Jackson who passed away on February 22.

"Bob was the principal of Woy Woy for many years, a staunch Federation member of the Ettalong Woy Woy Teachers Association and one of the most respected and loved principals by the kids, parents and staff I have ever known.

"One memory I have of Bob, which shows the kind of person he was, at a learn to swim course, he was in the pool taking the hardest group.

"I know he would come into classes and tell the teacher to have a break.

"He never asked anyone to do what he couldn't do himself.

"Although we have lost the body of a great person, his values, friendship, dedication and bravery through adversity will last forever."

Letter, February 23 Robert Landow, Woy Woy South Public School
