In the last week of Term 1, our school participated in the Bill Turner Cup, a soccer competition against other schools for those under the age of 15. Our first game was against Narrabeen Sports High, a school renowned for its students sporting ability. Despite all the team's defeatist mindset, Mr Prior was optimistic and convinced we could win this game. I remember his words exactly "Guys, I know they're a sports school but I've heard they are not too good." The famous last words from Sir, however, it was quite quickly that we realized they were far from "not good". We proceeded to lose 11-1, but of course Mr. Prior was quick to change his previous statement. The bus ride back to school was unsurprisingly filled with jokes and excuses on why we lost from the students and Sir. All in all, it was a day I will never forget thanks to Sir's sense of humour that never seemed to amaze the team and me. I never had Mr Prior as a teacher, my brother in Year 7 had him and said that he was such a funny and relatable teacher that he was more like a father figure than a teacher. My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Craig Prior. Gone but not forgotten.
