Farewell to a great teacher and friend

Staff, parents and students were sad to hear of the passing of a beloved teacher Peter ‘Davo” Davidson over the weekend. Peter taught generations of Merriwa students science since 1985, with a combination of humour and passion for his subject. Many would have fond memories of him in full flight leading school dramatic productions in the School of Arts Hall. Peter was also an advocate for teachers and their working conditions, being a union representative of the NSW Teachers Federation for much of his working life. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time.
