However, he was also a very serious team member and his notable acheivements include performing as an outstanding Stage Manager during the 2009 performance of 'Guys and Dolls' as well as the creation and implementation of this very website - an outstanding acheivment in terms of dynamic structure and reuseability. He was an inspirational member of the team, being in charge of sound in his final years and will be remembered for years to come by not only the SLST but also members of the school in general. |
