School Mourns Loss

Dear Whanau and Community of Saint Kevin’s College,

It is with profound sadness that we acknowledge the death, last night of one of our year 10 female students. As expected, this has and will continue to have a traumatic effect on our school and particularly on the students who knew and loved her. We have held a full school liturgy in our chapel this morning to help students work through this tragic loss. Support systems are in place in the form of counselling and our Chapel has been opened as a safe space for students to meet and grieve.

Community mental health organisations, other schools and relevant agencies are supporting the College Community.

At a time like this, it is important to communicate with staff if you are concerned for your students so that we are able to fully support them as they come to terms with this tragedy.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time.

Eternal rest, grant unto her O Lord
And let perpetual light shine upon her
May she rest in peace
Amen.
