We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mr Tony Burrell, Union’s sixth Headmaster and a man whose vision helped shape the Union we know today.
In 1975, at just 38 years old, Mr Burrell took up the reins as Headmaster of Union High School and Superintendent of Arthur Kingwill House – roles he fulfilled with dedication and heart until 1990.
He believed strongly in the power of connection and worked to strengthen ties with Old Unionites far and wide, helping establish a National Executive for the Old Unionite Association.
