Memorial to Jimmy Lowcock – Andrew TC Ma, class of ’58 ‘

” Mr. Lowcock had always been someone very special to a lot of us because of what he taught us, especially during the time when he was our Sports Master. He instilled into us that the principle of sports was (and is) based on the following:
– Firstly, we must always be giving our best possible effort;
– Secondly, we must be completely honest , and
– Thirdly we must always try to do the right thing.
These values were deeply ingrained into us and were responsible for our top performances on and off the field.  They enabled us to be counted on to undertake any and all tasks that faced us for the rest our lives.  They enabled us to stand tall and proud to have been DBS – trained and nurtured, for which we will be forever grateful.
Mr. Lowcock has left his mark on all of us who learned under him and he will always be remembered and revered for the rest of our lives.

Mr. Lowcock – C.K. Wu (DBS 1981 – 1987)

I was a student at DBS from 1981 – 1987. I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Lowcock. He (Ah-Gow) was a remarkable headmaster. Not only did he elevate our school to its highest academic glory, but he also encouraged us to develop our sporting and musical interests. I feel honoured that he was a part of my school life. 

May our beloved Mr. Lowcock rest in eternal peace.
