The Parents’ Association, along with the College, Prep and Pre-Prep extend an invitation to join us in saying good bye and thank you to Mrs Helen Popplewell for her many years of service at St John’s.

Mrs Popplewell has touched the lives of many St John’s families as teacher, head of academic departments and for the past seven years, headmistress of Pre-Prep.

We are sad to say goodbye to such a truly caring, gentle and loving lady who has instilled confidence, good manners and respect in our young St John’s gentlemen. She has played a valuable role in developing them into competent, dynamic young Johannians of whom the greater St John’s community can be proud.

We do hope that Prep and College boys, together with their parents, will join us for tea to say farewell to this wonderful lady on break-up day, Wednesday 4 April at 10h30 on “D” Rugby Field (in front of Pre-Prep).

As it is customary to receive a gift on retirement, we would welcome contributions towards a gift for Mrs Popplewell. Please send your contribution in an envelope addressed “Mrs Popplewell’s Farewell” to one of the front office secretaries:

• Pre-Prep: Mrs Kruger
• Prep: Mrs Powell
• College: Mrs Schaerer

Alternatively, you can effect a direct deposit into:

• Parents’ Association of St John’s
• Standard Bank
• Killarney 007 205
• Account No: 2003 03511
• Reference: Mrs Popplewell

For further information, please contact Linda Roets (083 326-4611) or Monique Moodie (083 677-1100)

Sincerely
