Mr Larsen passed away on Monday in a motor vehicle accident. I only saw him on parent meeting days for five minutes but he daily reached the news around dinner table when he drilled the children to take their mathematics more seriously then they were planning to do. Amazing legacy this man has created in my children.
Thank you
For Mr Gavin Larsen, Senior School Mathematics Teacher
Although we haven’t spoken much
only a couple of times
you were the one teaching, coaching, listening
making a difference in my children’s lives
when they would not let me in.
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
for being the rock they could lean on
the voice in their head to motivate them
the motivation to excel in what they believed in
without you our lives would have been poorer
you leave a rich legacy of what all great teachers begin
the seed of hope
and walking the future in

I'm sorry. It sounds like he was an amazing teacher. Good teachers always ripple out.

I'm sorry for the loss. I'm sure Mr. Larsen would be honoured by this tribute. This reminded me of my own senior school maths teacher who sadly passed away last year from covid.
