He Mihi Aroha – A Message of Sadness and Support
It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the tragic passing of Jock Davies, an akonga in our Institue of Sport, Exercise and Health.
Jock was a valued member of our Otago Polytechnic community, and his loss is felt deeply. Our thoughts are with his whānau, friends, classmates, and all those who knew and cared for him during this incredibly difficult time.
We understand this loss may affect each of us differently, and we encourage you to take the time you need to process and reflect. Please know that you are not alone. Support is available, and we are here for you.
Please take care of yourselves and one another, and reach out if you need anything.
