With many fond memories of my time as a student at Hollingbourne Primary School, I recently decided to check in on one of my favourite teachers, Mr Harding. I was so sad read of his passing and my thoughts go out to his family. His influence on me growing up cannot be overstated and I cherish his encouragement in studies and sport. I am also indebted to Mr Harding for having mentioned to my father that I should consider taking up athletics. While I did not qualify for the Olympics, sport had a profound effect on my work ethic and confidence. So, a big thank you to Mr Harding, may you rest in peace. Love to his family.
