It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our much-loved House Patron, Mr Richard Morris.
As one of the four founders of our College, Mr Morris brought invaluable experience shaped by his time in Johannesburg, South Africa, where he helped establish St Barnabas College. His strong commitment to education, justice, and community helped shape the values that underpin our College today, and he played a vital role in securing the land on which we now stand.
From the earliest days, Mr Morris served with generosity and dedication, contributing to the Steering Committee and later as Chairman of the Finance Committee during the College’s formative years. In later years, he remained connected to the College, a familiar and warmly welcomed presence at events, always showing a genuine interest in the life of the community he helped to build.
We give thanks for Mr Morris’s vision, faith, and unwavering commitment to our community, grateful that his legacy lives on through Morris House, inspiring future generations.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Morris family at this time.
