During my 1st day of school at DBS in Form 1D back in September of 1974; our class was particularly noisy as it was filled with half of us that knew each other from Diocesan Preparatory School. A tall stately gentleman with grey hair walked in and said in a commanding voice “Sit down and shut up. Your teacher will be here shortly”. That was my first encounter with Mr. Lowcock. I spent only one more year in Form 2A at DBS. I remember the excitement of winning 1st place for the School Orchestra, and playing table tennis for C Grade Sykes House during that year. I left the school when my family immigrated to the United States in July of 1976.
I appreciate Mr. Lowcock for his contributions to DBS for instilling the importance of character, healthy competition, and striving to be the best not only in academics but in sports and music. He encouraged students to be all rounded. I have no doubt that he played a huge part in my academic achievement and character formation during my short stint at the school. I offer my deepest condolences to his family.
