Peter was an active and immensely generous member of the Wesley community through his many interests, including his beloved Collegians Football Club.  Peter served as Co-Patron of the Sapere Aude Bequest Society from 2012 alongside Susie Rodgers-Wilson. We extend our deepest sympathies to Jennie and family.

Jean was an accomplished history scholar, an inspiring teacher and educational leader, and outstanding contributor to Wesley College and to the Wesley College Foundation over many years. We particularly acknowledge her role as Co-Patron of the Sapere Aude Bequest Society from 2005 to 2012. We extend our deepest sympathies to her children David (OW1977), Ian (OW1979) and Lydia, and to their families, including Old Wesley Collegians Elizabeth Prest (OW2009) and Alexandra Prest (OW2012).
