    Is this the same person that taught at Berala public school in the 1960s?

    Denis was at a one teacher school near Gilgandra in 1961. He was playing football against all the boys (for real) when the inspector turned up. His report could not have been good, and Denis was evidently a professional footballer the next year.

    My teacher at Berala 1962. After the weekend he would turn up at school with visible bruises, cuts and I remember the stitched up cut over an eye. As his students, especially the boys, we followed his matches and wanted to know how each injury was earned. A great teacher, find memories of the time.

    Does he have a son Brent?

    It is so interesting to see how an accomplished rugby league player is better remembered for his good teaching more so than his good football. I had a maths teacher who played on the wing for Canterbury Banks. and I note that comments for him are in the same vein.
    Denis was at a level equivalent to modern day State of Origin.

    Denis taught at Armatree Public School as commented.....near Gilgandra.
    My brother taught at this school in 1962.
    Happy days.
    We knew Denis from Bathurst Teachers College days....1960/61
    Hope he is well.Pete Collins

    Beryl Cubis, Denis's wife was our History teacher at Willoughby Girls' High in the 1960s. She was a fantastic teacher, When we discovered that her husband, Denis, played for North Sydney, our local team, we attended matches at North Sydney Oval to watch him play. We became rugby league fans!
