The Associate Head of the School of Communication and Creative Industries, Dr Peter Simmons, said, “John’s free thinking intellect and energy have been a wonderful gift to colleagues and students for three decades.

CSU colleague Dr Jerry Boland said, “John was one of Australia's greatest theorist/practitioners of drama in education and very much a leading pioneer in that great educational/cultural enterprise. His academic honours were many, he touched all of our lives in a wonderfully positive, transformative way, and he will be sorely missed.”
