Famous folk from your school
Discussion
only 2 - the singer and drummer from 'the music' who were in the year below. would've thought my primary had some famous sons (200+ yrs old vs 38) but no.
had a couple of semi famous teachers - iva ropati (kiwis rugby player) taught english and the only teacher in the school without a degree (taught maths and was easily the best teacher I had) played division 1 footy in the 50s as well as the england reserve team.

We had a naughty headmaster at my old school, although he started there well after I left. Hazel Irvine the sports presenter is the only vaguely famous alumni I can think of.
Some bloke who won the Turing Award and a Nobel Prize.
Also, Richard Oakes was in the year above me. One day he was at school, bit of a saddo, no-one really knew him, the next day he's in Suede, replacing Bernard Butler on lead guitar. Film crews and music journos all over the place.
My wife went to school with terrible rave band QFX. Her headteacher was rugby legend Jim Telfer.
My Dad went to school with Steven Seagal. He spent a few months over here in the 60s staying with relatives.
