Condolences to the Prince Family

It is with great sadness that we extend our heartfelt condolences to the Prince family on the passing of Mr Prince.

Mr Prince was a valued member of the St John’s Road Primary School family, having taught at our school in the early 2010s after his retirement. His connection to our school extended even further, as his beloved wife, Mrs Prince, and their daughter were also part of our staff over the years.

We are grateful for the contribution Mr Prince made to our school and the lives of the learners and colleagues he touched during his time with us. His presence and dedication will always be remembered with fondness.

To the entire Prince family, please accept our deepest and most sincere condolences during this difficult time. May God grant you strength, peace and comfort, and may He surround you with His love as you mourn your loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. 🕊️

From the Principal, Staff and Learners of St John’s Road Primary School
