The Court of Companions commemorates staff who have worked at BGS for 15 years or more. At the end of 2014, seven new members were inducted into the Court of Companions and briefly reflect on their time at BGS.
Kathryn Counihan
Middle School Teacher of Japanese 1993-ongoing
I have worked mainly as a Japanese teacher with amazing colleagues Midori Cranston, Yoko Sainsbury and Hiroko Hunt. Over 20 years I have had the opportunity to see how many of those teenage boys I taught in my early years have turned out and I have the privilege of working with two of them now, Tim Marshall and Anthony Coghlan. They leave me in no doubt about the ‘company product’ when I see these two men living the values of the School as they pass them on to what will become the young, and eventually old, men of the future.
54 SUMMER 2014/15
I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching and coaching sporting teams. Particular highlights were the Year 6 Cricket Trips to The Hutchins School in Tasmania. Being a member of a community such as BGS is a life-long journey; the friends you make will be with you for life. It has been a privilege to work with many outstanding educators whose passion and commitment to both teaching and BGS knows no bounds.
Sally Sher
School Secretary 1991 - ongoing
I began working in the Junior School as secretary to Peter Toms in 1991. Over the years I have been fortunate to have worked in most sections of the School, recently as Secretary in the Middle School. Brighton Grammar School is a wonderful place - a real community where boys, parents and staff are all truly valued. I have been very lucky to have made many firm friendships over my time.
