Rod Downie is an amazing and outstanding teacher and educator. A man of honour with an Ignatian heart. He is a man with a wonderful educational philosophy which places the interests of the student at the centre of all he does. Rod is acknowledged and recognised for his pastoral care and ability to recognise gifts and talents in every student. He has been a long term staff member at John XXIII College and his name is never far away from any conversation with alumni linked to the school. They all love and respect Rod Downie. Rod is a visionary educator and his methods of teaching are now recognised as the best contemporary pedagogy. He dares to be different and challenges the norm. Rod is a first class educator and I would rate as a world educator in his own right. I am honoured to have worked with Rod for over 30 years.
