Our college community is deeply saddened by the loss of our valued student 17-year-old Samuel Oluwagbenga (pictured right), who tragically passed away on Tuesday, July 2 2024, during an end-of-term trip.
We are committed to continuing to support Samuel’s family during this difficult time and were honoured to join them in celebrating his life at a College memorial event.
This gathering brought together his family and friends in a shared expression of grief.
During the service, we unveiled Samuel’s Friendship Bench, and students signed a football shirt in his memory. A commemorative book was also made available for sharing memories.
This heartbreaking event has profoundly impacted us all.
We continue to offer support to everyone affected, with professional counsellors and resources available to our community.
