Derek had been the janitor at Donbank School, the site of Riverbank, before the amalgamation of Donbank and St Machar Schools. Derek received cards from each class and told us of his time as a janitor with Aberdeen City Council. Derek was presented with a gift from the Parent Council and I&#8217;m sure we all wish him a long and happy retirement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"jetpack-slideshow-noscript robots-nocontent\">This slideshow requires JavaScript.<\/p><div id=\"gallery-3484-1-slideshow\" class=\"jetpack-slideshow-window jetpack-slideshow jetpack-slideshow-black\" data-trans=\"fade\" data-autostart=\"1\" data-gallery=\"[{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/riverbank.aberdeen.sch.uk\\\/blogs\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/03\\\/IMG_1256.jpg?fit=640%2C480\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;3497&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_1256&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Derek tells us about his experiences at St Machar \\u0026#038;
