Mrs Carolyn Rigby
Teacher - Mathematics Department
1973-1982
I left Jesmond in 1982 but didn't lose touch, happily meeting up with ex-students and Netball girls and attending a few individual year reunions.
I rejoined the workforce in 1988 after having two sons, eventually working at the Newcastle Regional Museum as Education Officer (1993-2006). This posiiton led me to running into even more ex-students (and their children) through Museum Education Programs. Most conversations start with "You probably won't remember me but...you haven't changed a bit, Mrs Rigby".
I've now left the Museum - just before your grand-children arive! I'm still active in sport but now it's Orienteering rather than Netball.
I've got great memories of my time and friends at Jesmond - both staff and students.
