Shaun Blackler Obituary, A Heartfelt Farewell To Shaun Blackler

Shaun Blackler Obituary, Death Cause – In a week that began with sunshine and laughter, Heretaunga College was struck by a profound sadness as we received the devastating news of the unexpected passing of our cherished teacher, Mr. Shaun Blackler. It was on a seemingly ordinary Sunday, while enjoying a game of cricket, that fate took him from us, leaving our school community in deep shock and grief. Mr. Blackler was more than just a teacher; he was a beacon of inspiration, an embodiment of kindness, and a mentor who touched the lives of countless students.

His smiling face, warm heart, and dedication to our ākonga (students) were unparalleled. His memory will forever be etched in our hearts. In honor of his memory, Heretaunga College has decided to close its doors for the day on Friday, October 20, 2023. This decision is made to provide an opportunity for our staff and students to attend Shaun’s funeral, where we can collectively celebrate the life of this much-treasured kaiāko (teacher).

During this challenging time, we stand together as a school community, offering our support and condolences to Mr. Blackler’s family. We will remember him not with tears, but with smiles, and continue to carry his legacy forward in the hallways and classrooms of Heretaunga College. In closing, let us remember Mr. Shaun Blackler for the positivity, love, and knowledge he imparted. As we grieve, we also appreciate the gift of his presence in our lives and the countless lives he influenced. May he rest in peace.
