Bill Hilliard was one of my favourite teachers. A great geography teacher. I remember him fondly from my Balmain High days in the late 70s to the early 80s.

Mr.Hilliard was a kind hearted soul with genuine interest in teaching as well as being very patient with students that had trouble grasping difficult concepts. He was a very positive spirited man that always made sure to greet his students when walking past the hallways. Mr.hillard has inspired me to always continue on learning. Rest in peace.

Bill sadly passed away yesterday 27/03/2022. He was a great role model to fans with his efforts on the field and a great role model to the many students he mentored later in his career off the field as a teacher. RIP Bill!
