[Design and Technology] sad news

Fri Aug 11 10:55:08 AEST 2017

I was also very saddened to hear of Foster’s passing. I always loved seeing Foster at DATTA Vic conferences and events - he was always encouraging and supportive, and would be open to and excited by new ideas or approaches. He was generous with his knowledge and experience, and I know he has greatly influenced many technology teachers through his time at Hawthorn and Trinity Grammar, and through his involvement with DATTA Vic.
My thoughts are with his family and close colleagues
He will be sorely missed.

I appreciated his wisdom about new directions in design and technology education as it emerged as a learning area from art, craft and 'trade-based' education in the early 90's. Later, following the growth of the design and technology area through his work at Trinity Grammar, I was astounded by the quality and innovation displayed in the work of Foster's students at the college's end of year exhibition. I have many fond memories of our discussions and greatly appreciated his honesty and warmth.

> Foster was a much loved teacher, colleague and friend. He was an active DATTA member bringing a wealth of experience from Industry and many schools including 16 years teacher education at Hawthorn Institute of Education. Foster was instrumental in the growth and development of the Design and Technology program at Trinity Grammar School over the last 16 years. He was an expert in his field and a superb mentor to students and staff alike. He will be greatly missed.
