I loved having Mr Prior for Years 9 and 10 math, I always looked forward to each lesson as Sir never failed to ask me “how are we today Lily”. Not only did he take time out of his days to help me individually, but also offered his time to me and my friends during lunch and recess as he really wanted us to understand the content. He was very passionate and wanted us to be as well. He had many motivational quotes, often placed around the classroom, such as “the better we all do, the better we all do” and sometimes he put up videos about motivation from the army.
He was a very inspiring and encouraging teacher who often shared stories about his life. He always called my friends angels and joked around, making the classroom feel bright. A couple of times I remember walking around the neighbourhood and hearing a faint hello, then looking up to see Mr Prior happily riding along on his bike. One of my favorite memories with him was at the end of last term when he walked me to class after finding out I was moving schools. He was genuinely interested. The iconic song he played during lockdown, “Pump It Up” will always remind me of him. Thank you Mr Prior.
