Principal's Comment

 Kia Ora Kevinians and Supporters of the College,

Today we have been very sad to learn of the passing of Mr Terry O'Neill. Terry was a long time staff member of the College and was heavily involved in sport, in particular rugby which continued to be a passion for him right up until the end of his life. Terry was a sports commentator with regular spots both on the radio and in print and was always found in the commentary box at the annual Waitaki V SKC Fixture. He was awarded the Queens Service medal in 2020 for his service to sports journalism and was recently inducted into the North Otago Sports Hall of Fame.

Terry was a committed Catholic and was one of the few staff to have worked at the College with both religious and lay management. I myself worked with Terry in my early teaching years at the College and have clear memories of his 'guarding the gate' checking for students who might have tried to sneak to town at lunch time!

Our thoughts and prayers are with Terry's family and friends at this time.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, 

and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
