Farewell Tim Stoheldt

Tim Strohfeldt came to Scotch in 1994 from Horsham College. He taught Biology to Years 10 to 12 and Science to Years 7 to 9 for his duration at Scotch, and in one year taught Mathematics to Years 8 and 9. From 1994 to 2001 Tim was a tutor with Field House, and he was appointed Chair of Science for 2001. His major Scotch appointment came in 1998 as Head of Biology which he held until his recent resignation. Tim’s sporting involvement was eight years with volleyball, six with water polo, the last five with athletics and in 2005 he took on Touch Football.

On arrival at Scotch, Tim became an officer of cadets before transferring to the Year 10 Outdoor activities running the sea-kayaking. In 2002 he established the Year 9 Outdoor Expedition Program – that being the highlight of his extra-curricular activities while at Scotch.

Overseeing the renovation of the Biology Department gave Tim immense satisfaction. After a taste of life as a nomadic mariner during long-service leave in 2004, Tim resigned at the end of Term 2 to return to cruising the Great Barrier Reef with his family on their sloop for the remainder of 2005 before returning to Victoria next year to begin some unknown new enterprise.
