Condolences to Michelle and family on the passing of Gary. Mr Costello was the best Year Master. I remember lots of humour and school trips. There was nothing you couldn’t take to him. He always listened and genuinely cared about us.

Gary was one of Sunraysia’s best ever soccer referees, a true gentleman on the pitch, which was reflected with much respect from nearly all players, coaches and spectators and deservedly winning the best referee in 1992 and 2002 (still engraved on our perpetual trophy). Our condolences to his family from all at Football (soccer) Federation Sunraysia Referees association.

Sending our love ad thoughts all, was the best school principal anyone could ever ask for. It was a privilege and will be so sadly missed. Encouraged all my kids to follow their dreams, you can always come back to education later and that’s what they all did. Our memories will last forever xxxxx
