Mr Wain’s departure has taken some of the attention away from Mr John Wallace who retires after 36 years of service to TSS. Originally a Prep School Teacher, he then became Head of Morse House for Year 8 boys, followed by Biddle Housemaster and then Director of Boarding. After leaving boarding Mr Wallace has spent his final years in teaching back in the classroom and leading our Speech and Variety classes. He totals over 400 speech and variety meetings in his 36 years. Mr Wallace is the quintessential school master, gentlemen, scholar, athlete. He will be missed. We are extremely grateful and consider our school lucky to have you for much of your career. Read More
