Harrison College honoured retiring Deputy Principal Dr Martin Alleyne, bringing together students, staff, former colleagues and non-teaching staff to celebrate an educator whose career has spanned 48 years and 10 months.

The special final assembly recognised Dr Alleyne’s contribution to Harrison College and the education system, with tributes describing him as a dependable leader who quietly helped steer the school through some of its most challenging periods.

Teacher Sophia Chase, while reading a citation on behalf of retired principal Juanita Wade, reflected on first knowing Dr Alleyne as her English teacher.
