Kia ora koutou, I have always had deep respect for Robyn. There are not too many people that have that. She was incredibly intelligent, insightful, commanding and impressive. She was also the ‘aunty’ type figure who spoke plainly and told you how it was, or is. I learnt from Robyn to be on time, something I never really thought deeply about till she explained it. Respect peoples efforts to be on time so things start well. I also learnt from her how to be prepared, do your homework, research and back yourself up. Another thing I appreciated about Robyn was her sheer dedication to Future Problem Solving. Being the head of that kaupapa for so long shows incredible commitment and belief to share and nurture so many minds in Aotearoa and abroad. What an amazing feat! We were all blessed to have you inspire us. As I watched the funeral service online I could see how much your whanau and close friends meant to you and you to them. They were your ‘why’s. I love how your passion interests influenced others and I really enjoyed the stories and memories shared especially being a Star Trek fan and am now looking forward to discovering all about ‘The Outlander’. Aroha atu, aroha mai Robyn. May your legacy live on in the lives you have touched. From a admirer from afar. Char ❤️🙏🏼

Truly sad to hear of Robyn's passing. The world won't seem quite the same without her. Robyn had a greater impact on my teaching career than any other person. I have never forgotten what I learned from her. She had a deep love for kids, for their inherent potential, for what made them tick ... coupled with an unfailing belief in what they could achieve with the right support and guidance. What a very special person. What a massive heart. I am thinking very much of you all ... Dave, Robyn, Debbie, Noel, Helen and Chris. Chris, I remember the day you told me that Auntie Boz said kids shouldn't have homework. She seemed to remember the conversation a bit differently. You all take care, and know that you will not alone carry a sweet and precious remembrance of this very very special lady. Kevin Trewhella

Rare; a spark that has ignited many flames, Our lives have been enriched by your humor, tenacity and guidance, Beautiful lady, brilliant lady; dressed in saffron, gold and rainbows, Your finetuned wisdom and creativity will continue to flourish in others, Not a day will go past. Arohanui

I was the coach of the third school to sign up for The Future Problem Solving Programme. I still vividly remember the phone call I had with Robyn and her passion about FPS which developed critical, creative and caring thinking skills for students. In those days our International Competitions were held in Melbourne where we spent time together sharing accommodation, stories and laughter. I am sorry that I am unable to attend her funeral today. I would like to offer all of my love and strength to her family, the people who worked tirelessly to support her, the many teachers and students that she has touched in her lifetime. Robyn has left behind a true legacy to New Zealand education and I am honoured to have shared tiny parts of that with her over the years. RIP Robyn.

It was my pleasure to work with and enjoy Robyn. Robyn was joyful, creative and so fun! I visited in New Zealand and will never forget her telling me to get out of her seat in the car - I continually tried to get in the "wrong" door of her car since I was from the US and backwards. Robyn and I continued our friendship over the years and I will miss our discussions about politics in the US - and then in New Zealand. I know Robyn will rest in peace as she did in her life.
