Honouring Miss Dorothy Ramplin

Known for her strict yet engaging teaching style, Miss Ramplin sparked a love for learning and guided many into successful STEM careers. She loved travelling; teaching in several countries and was an avid lawn bowler.

News of Miss Ramplin’s passing prompted an outpouring of fond memories from former staff and students with one sharing,

"Such a beautiful, dedicated and caring human. Dorothy was a force to be reckoned with. A laser sharp wit and a brilliant educator.”

Miss Ramplin passed away in January, leaving behind a legacy of adventure and service.

A wake was held at the Merewether Bowling Club in early February. 

Thank you, Dorothy, for your 38 years of dedication to CEGGS and NGS.
