A memory that has been sent in by Neil Armstrong OI (1977-1982):
"I was in Dr. Chapman's 4B and 5B Maths class from 1980 to 1982. He was an extremely clear, methodical and patient teacher. Thanks to him I was able to pass my Maths O'Level despite my rather limited aptitude for the subject. Although I did not appreciate it at the time, he must have been a very humble man. After all, he had a PhD in Chemistry and yet was able to effectively teach something as mundane as Maths O'Level. "
