Dr Pargetter

Yesterday we were notified of the sad news that Dr Pargetter had passed away. Many of us never knew the Doc on much of a personal level but overall he has been one of the better things that has happened to the school. There has been so much change with Dr Pargetter at the helm, the introduction of girls, parallel education, lecture program, and term 4B which gives us such an advantage. Dr Pargetter was the perfect person at the right time for Haileybury and under him the school has grown so much and would not be close to where it is today. His pioneering ideas and visions will be greatly missed within the Haileybury community

On a more positive note the musical ‘Fame’ is getting very close. Opening night is Wednesday next week. Lighting wise is pretty much done. It was completed on Thursday and Saturday last week. (see james’ blog for more info). Sound is due to be done on Friday and the full dress rehearsal is on Sunday so it looks to be a busy schedule before opening night but all in all should be a very good show.
