Miss Lawrence, Aunty Grace, taught me Geography at ICHS for 5 years , 1967-71.
Small in stature, she easily kept the class of 30+ girls controlled & entertained. Her love for the subject & her immense skill at imparting not only the required material, but many other interesting facts endeared her to all of us. She managed to be strict, whilst letting us know she cared about us individually, so naturally we loved her in return.
After she formally retired, we stayed in touch, & for the last five years of her life I visited fairly regularly, as I was so inspired by her gentle, unassuming ways, & her independent spirit, not to mention her mind & memory which were undiminished by time.
She left an amazing legacy, this woman who could lovingly call hundreds of people “her children/students”. She will never be forgotten
