It is with immense sadness that we learned of the very serious car accident that occurred last Friday night in the locality of Howard of Effingham School in which one of our students tragically lost their life and others were injured.
We have a very close school community so that when such a tragedy happens, the impacts are felt very deeply by all those within and around the school. Our first priority is to support our students and their families together with our colleagues at this critical time. To this end we ask for the utmost sensitivity towards all those in our school community as they attempt to come to terms with the loss they feel without unwarranted intrusion that would inevitably cause additional distress.
Our particular prayers and thoughts are with the families and close friends of those involved at this very difficult time.
