Mr Just was an amazing teacher that saw potential in each one of his students. I still remember all my classes with him vividly because he made learning interesting and fun. The times that I have spent with him will always be very close to my heart. My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Just

My favourite teacher from high school. A very special and knowledgeable man who told incredible stories and inspired so many young people to love literature. I think about him often and always wish I´d had the chance to learn more from him.
Thank you for your time, care, and wisdom, Mr Just, you are deeply missed.

I played recorder with Wolfgang in his father's Recorder Consort in the Great Hall many years ago. I saw him a few years ago and greeted each other, the years just melting away.

Mr Just was an iconic figure for decades at Villa Maria College. He assisted many of my peers and myself to develop our emergent skills in scholarship, and critical thinking yet was always tolerant of some healthy teenage mischief. He contributed much to the cultural and arts activities of the school, always engaging students to contribute and learn alongside him. My finest memories are my years learning German with him.
Little did I know that I would later spend ten years living and working in the south of Germany, ever so grateful for my solid grounding in the beautiful language from his lessons. Not to mention the amusing discovery that I had picked up his accent, which was very different from the south!
Herzlichen Dank für alles Liebe Herr Just. Ruhe in Frieden
