Ballard School pays tribute to Jonah Lumo

Alastair Reid, headmaster of Ballard School has paid tribute to Jonah Lumo who died on 18 November aged 40. He said, “Ballard School was devastated to hear of the death of rugby star, Jonah Lumo. We flew the New Zealand flag at half-mast out of respect and also remembered him in our Senior Assembly on 18 November. Jonah visited Ballard a few weeks ago having responded to an invitation from Ballard parents and staff who knew him well. We have been supporting Naomi House children’s hospice, as had Mr Lumo, and he came to speak to our pupils in assembly about the importance of schooling, perseverance and aiming for excellence. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.​”
