Dear all,
I’m very sorry to have to share some terrible news with you
all. Last night I received an email from Sharon informing me that Paul had died
and therefore they would not be joining us after Tet. Obviously this is very
sad news for us all at ISHCMC as Paul was more than just a normal educational
consultant he had become a friend of ISHCMC. He was someone special who made
connections with people and institutions. His positive, passionate and enthusiastic
personality made him an exciting person to be linked with as a school. His
commitment to learning and helping schools grow their pedagogy made him part of
our community. Paul will remain with us at ISHCMC as his beliefs are in so many
ways enshrined in our school mission. The workshops that he delivered at ISHCMC
epitomized the words energized, engaged and empowered; both in delivery and the
resultant effect upon us as an audience. He should always be in our minds when
we read the word “construct,” as he was our inspiration for transforming our
pedagogy.
Hence this week’s food for thought is to take a minute to
reflect upon how Paul influenced and helped you in your approach to teaching
and by capturing these positive feelings send our condolences to Sharon and his
family.
Last night I did send sympathies to Sharon but thought
that if any of you would like to share your thoughts then I will compile and
send as one email to thank her and Paul for the connection they made
with us at ISHCMC.
Wishing you all a good Sunday,
Yours
Adrian
