The Deceased Barrister's kids also went to my daughters school (primary).
Shocking. The school has had a rough year with the death of one of their Nuns on MH17.
Dear Member of the School Community,
It is with immense sadness that we inform you of the passing of one of our much loved parents, Ms Katrina Dawson, during the siege in Martin Place last evening.
Katrina was the mother of Oliver who has just completed Kindergarten, Sasha, who attended St Michael’s Pre-school and Chloe, a student at Ascham, and the wife of Paul Smith. Katrina was the much loved daughter of Sandy and Jane Dawson and sister of Angus and Sandy Dawson, all families who are highly respected members of our School community.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family at this extremely difficult and very sad time.
We understand that this news will be highly distressing for many of our families and staff. Support is available for anyone who wishes it through our School Chaplain, Rev Craig Tubman, Rev Michael Jensen (Rector of St Mark’s) and Head of Counselling, Ms Juliet Reiner, via the Junior School office. St Mark’s Anglican Church will be open for private prayer from 2pm this afternoon, for anyone who so desires.
We thank everyone for their kind offers of support. We will inform you accordingly once the family’s wishes are known. Out of respect for the family, the School will be making no further comment at this time.
