DEATHS

Vale Elizabeth Pietsch

The Cornerstone College community were saddened by the recent news of the death of Mrs Elizabeth Pietsch. Liz was one of the foundation staff at Cornerstone College back in 1990 and played an important role in the College’s early establishment years. Liz served initially as a teacher of English, PE and Health, as well as bus driver and all the other roles that come with being a teacher in a fledgling school. She later became the College’s first Careers and Pathways Coordinator and introduced VET into the College. Liz was inspirational to work with, always on the go and actively involved in so many aspects of College life. She had a passion for education, for demanding and bringing out the best in her students and a zest for life. She was very vocal, quite forthright in her views, quite animated and theatrical in all she did, but with always had a big heart for others. Liz left Cornerstone in 2003 and continued to serve in a number of roles in Lutheran schools and with Lutheran Education Australia (LEA) until her retirement in 2018. In acknowledgement of her contribution to Lutheran education she received LEA Service Awards in 2011 and 2018. After battling with cancer for a number of years Liz passed away in Melbourne on July 27 surrounded by her family. Vale Liz and we thank her for her contribution to her role in establishing the Cornerstone College we know today. Tony Egan Teacher
