Story
Dominic James Church (S08-10) died on 29 June 2019 at the age of just 26. A funeral service was held on 25th September for family and close friends at The Church of St Peter & St Paul in Wangford. His sister Gabby (P08-11) says that after leaving the college Dom travelled and worked in Australia for a year before returning home to see the family. During that time he was hit by a car which left him with life-threatening injuries. After recovering, a few years later he went back across the world to New Zealand where, among many other achievements, he became a qualified solo skydiver.
