In fact, the highlights outweigh them 10-fold.
Today is Mrs Bridger’s final day as a teacher at Columba College, a role she has had since the late 1980s.
"Columba has always been a happy place for me.
"No-one else here has served a 37-year sentence."
A highlight had been the growth she saw from former pupils, she said.
"I've seen some of our junior school children move through the school and hold positions of leadership and responsibility.
"You can see the qualities that they have as 9 and 10-year-olds that will lead them to be those special prefects or leaders out in the community later on."
As for lowlights, there had not been any, she said.
She attended the University of Otago College of Education and started her job at Columba College in 1988.
She mainly taught year 5 and 6 pupils in the primary department, only teaching in the intermediate departments for a few years to fill in.
Her grandfather was a teacher and an interest in the career was instilled in her from a young age.
"I've always been happy and I didn't want any leadership roles.
"I wanted to have my own classroom and focus on the children.
"Never been one for going up the ranks."
A strong sense of humour had been key for her making it through all those years.
She was not a fan of waiting until 65 to retire.
At 62, she and husband, Peter, will move to their home in Cromwell.
"We decided and both planned that this would be the year and that we would move through while we can still enjoy living up there as well."
