Anne Sewnauth Anne Sewnauth is taking her well deserved retirement from Knightswood Secondary School. Anne started her teaching career in 1972 at Clydebank High. She has also been a teacher in Hillhead for one year and at Hyndland for six years. Anne came to Knightswood to start her new millennium of teaching in 2000. Anne has been a stalwart in both the Modern Studies and Geography Departments. Her love of Geography has been handed onto many hundreds of pupils and also to many Student and Probationer teachers. We wish Anne a long and happy retirement where she plans to spend a lot of time on 'Granny' duties.
Norrie Turner joined Knightswood Secondary School in 1999, following the closure of Victoria Drive Secondary, where he had held the post of Senior Teacher. He immediately established himself as a guiding light and his hard work and commitment was indispensable in setting up the new department. His link with Knightswood stretches back to 1963: he attended the school as a pupil. He came to his true calling by a circuitous route, through accountancy and insurance, before taking up his first teaching post at Cranhill Secondary in 1979. In 1984, he was declared surplus at Cranhill and took up a post at Victoria Drive Secondary.
Throughout his career, he has been an industrious and inspirational teacher: pupil and staff at Knightswood will miss his commitment and passion. We all wish him a long and happy retirement.

On the site you will be able to register messages and get in touch with old school pals all for no fee (unlike friends reunited). There is also a huge amount of old photograph waiting to be seen (thanks to John Lightbody for posting these images).
