27 Apr 2014
The staff of Springwood High School was greatly saddened to learn of the death of Michael Ryall, one of our Year 12 students, on Wednesday 23 April 2014. Our thoughts and heartfelt sympathy are with Michael's family and friends.
Michael was held in the highest regard by his teachers and his peers. His friendly, outgoing character endeared him to others. Michael involved himself in the life of the school in a positive and constructive manner, readily lending a helping hand to anyone in need. He was always polite, respectful and concerned about the wellbeing of those around him. He was, as the Australian vernacular would have it, a "dinkum" young man.
Students return to school for Term 2 on Tuesday, 29/4/13. Procedures are in place to provide additional support to our students and staff in the coming week. We will continue to concentrate on providing support to students and staff over the next months.
Please feel free to contact our school counsellor on 47512111 for further information or of you have any concerns about your son/daughter. Contacting the nominated staff is an important way of ensuring you receive consistent and accurate information and for us to be aware of all parent concerns.
