Geelong Region, Scouts Australia. Wednesday, 3 March 2010 What
a guy. What a gentleman. Irrepressible in life,
and whose life story will continue to inspire.
A life so full; from science and the Antarctic to motoring,sports, and the arts. Although I only knew him for his last few years, I feel privileged to be touched by his "Law Luck". Sincere condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. Sue Halliwell. Judith and Rowland Jubb, Anthea Wallhead and families. Published in: Herald Sun, Friday, 5 March 2010 Phillip
was my colleague in education in Victoria and my
friend. A fine man of adventurous nature and
determination, he successfully pushed
boundaries.
It was a privilege to work with one whose foresight, command and true leadership led the Victorian Institute of Colleges (VIC) as Vice-President and many other activities. His legacy in education stands particularly in the strength and status of institutions associated with the VIC. His father, A.J. Law, Principal of Melbourne Teachers' College (1939 - 1950) and my teacher set a high standard. As a friend of both father and son, I have fond memories of two great men whose contributions to education in Victoria paved it's direction today. Personally, and on behalf of my family, I extend deepest sympathy to Wendy and other family members. Thank you Dr Phillip Law Dr Lawrie Shears, former Director-General of Education.
