Heart boy in class
One of Christchurch’s most publicised teenagers, Phillip Robinson, has after nine months absence “slotted back” into school with “no problems.” Phillip, who is a fourthformer at Burnside High School, became New Zealand’s second heart transplant recipient on Christmas Day last year. His mother, Mrs Trish Robinson, said he had started back at school in the mornings only. She expected that doctors would give him permission to attend school fulltime after the May school holidays. She said Phillip was enjoying being with his friends and being “treated like one of the kids.” He was spending his free afternoons playing on his computer. She said that while Phillip had slotted back into school with no problems she was finding the return to normality a “bit slow.”
