Adam Caruana

I am really saddened to hear this news of your passing, mate. Adam! A really solid and awesome guy! You were there for the support of us all - as colleague and as friend. I knew you for a short 2 school years. I think of you as a brother from the beginning until the end of my tenure. Particularly at the end, when I was leaving, when I was hospitalised and through the crazy times in Chongqing. You were one of my trusted go-to people and you always made time and space to accommodate and offer support. Your smile was genuine, uplifting and appreciated. You played a mean bass up on stage! Holding the musical platform for other musicians to ride. Your door was always open, man - And you could be depended upon. Thank you! You were there when they came to my apartment to check on me before I went into hospital and you said - "Dude, whenever you need help or someone to talk to, just come and see me”. I was really grateful for that. You meant it. And I did. And how you could manage and drive the kids in only the cool way Adam knew how - with a style just all your own and you could move into presenting to adults just as smoothly. I admired that about you. I would feel relief when it was your turn to give any Staff PD presentations because you had this way to turn the mundane info into something that little bit more bearable to endure, with your humour and great wit. Your cooking tips shared in passing in the staffroom and on WeChat. I never did get that Tuna/Onion/Yoghurt recipe that you brought to school and offered to share with me at times and kept in the staffroom fridge. "Help yourself”. And I did. It was tasty and healthy. Thank you. In the 2, short, school years I knew you, you touched my life and positively affected me, the students, the parents and the wider community. My sincerest condolences to your family. I share in your sadness! God bless you, Adam [“they will rest from their labor, and their deeds will follow them”]
