Medina college mourns 49 year old teacher who passed away during lesson

This in from Medina College. Our thoughts are with Chris’ family and those at the college – Ed.


Yesterday, the Medina Community received some very sad news. Mr Chris Wilkins, who taught ICT, Government and Politics at the VI Form and was tutor to Y8, suffered from a heart attack and subsequently passed away.

Today, we have been respectfully marking his passing with a series of assemblies. Chris suffered the heart attack whilst teaching at the VI Form Campus and was taken straight to St Mary’s hospital where he passed away.

Chris was a witty, intelligent, well liked and respected teacher who will be sadly missed by all of the staff and students at Medina College.

Chris was 49 years old and leaves behind a wife and two sons, one in year nine at Medina and a second in year six who will be joining us next year.

Our thoughts, love and best wishes are with them all.
