It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Mr. Paul Sanders
Mr. Sanders had been an Itinerant Music Teacher at JPC for over 15 years and was an integral part of our music department. He provided lessons in brass and woodwind and directed school music ensembles, including the orchestra and jazz band.
Paul’s enthusiasm for nurturing and developing young performers, along with his unwavering dedication to music education, was evident throughout his lifelong involvement in music programs at secondary schools across the Bay of Plenty. His passion and commitment have left an indelible mark on countless students and colleagues, and he will be deeply missed.
Eternal rest grant to him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace.
Current and former JPC students of Mr Sanders gathered at JPC outside the main admin building at JPC last week, to pay our respects and honour him.
