Parent-Teacher Night at Springwood High School

It was parent-teacher night at Springwood High School last night - Rob's school - and off I trotted to find out what he's been up to.

1. First teacher was Mr. Svegli who teaches Science. When I introduced myself as Robert Colquhoun's Mum his face lit up. "A lovely boy, always interested, broad knowledge base, share chats about music, etc, etc."


2. At the next table was Ms Martin who teaches Robbie History. When I introduced myself as Robert Colquhoun's Mum her face lit up. "A lovely boy, always interested, broad knowledge base, etc, etc." Her partner had taught Robbie last year and put Rob in her class because he thought she would enjoy teaching Robbie.


3. Next stop was Ms Green, Robbie's Mathematics teacher. When I introduced myself as Robert Colquhoun's Mum her face lit up. "A lovely boy, always interested, broad knowledge base, etc, etc." The only glitch was that he had only handed in 1 out of 5 homework sheets this term. We are still in negotiations about that one, Robbie and I . . .


4. So the last teacher I could find was Mr Secombe who teaches Geography. When I introduced myself as Robert Colquhoun's Mum his face lit up. "A lovely boy, always interested, broad knowledge base, etc, etc." He asked if I knew what the score was in Rob's Way or My Way - apparently he's not taught Geography for a while and is a bit rusty so Robbie keeps him straight and lets him know when he's going wrong. I believe the score is 6 - 2 to Rob!
