Quotes
"Thank you School, will those on the balcony please come down" (at the end of school assemblies)
(while covering 9S Chemistry:) Mr Morris: "So how do we make more bonds?" Raveglia: "We need more women sir!"
"Well done." Usually accompanied by a genial smile and handshake, this was Mr Morris' standard action when handing out prizes in end-of-year assemblies.
