Jack Jenkins

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Jack Graeme Jenkins, a beloved supporter, parent and grandparent of St Paul's Collegiate School.

Jack's enduring commitment to education and his generous spirit was instrumental in establishing the scholarship programme at St Paul's. Through his and his wife Alison's unwavering support, five students have had the opportunity to pursue their education at St Paul's, reflecting Jack's profound belief in the power of education to transform lives.

A devoted husband to Alison for 58 years, Jack was a loving father to Andrea (Harington 1985-1986) and Malcolm (Hall 1983-1987) and father-in-law to Lena. He was also a proud Poppa to Emily (Harington 2015-2017) and Thomas (Hall 2016-2020), who will carry forward his legacy of kindness and generosity.

Jack will be remembered for his boundless generosity, his dedication to education, and the lasting impact he has made on St Paul's Collegiate School. His legacy will continue to inspire future generations of students, educators, and community members.
