Our sincere condolences to the Michaelhouse boys, staff and community.

We are devastated to have to inform our Michaelhouse community that one of our E Block (Grade 8 ) boys, Garth Finnemore, died in a car accident this afternoon, along with his parents. He was travelling home from a Sevens rugby event at Wembley College in his parents’ car along with his parents and his younger brother who has been transported in a critical condition to hospital. At this stage we know no further details but we will keep our community updated in due course. Our staff and our pastoral team at Michaelhouse are currently engaging with our boys at this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Finnemore family. Antony Clark Rector
