It is with deep sorrow that the Board of Governors, Principals, and staff of Auckland House School Society announce the passing of our beloved Director, Mrs. Sunita John. Born on November 2, 1959, in Palampur, she dedicated her life to education, joining Auckland House School as a teacher in 1985 and serving as Principal, Director Principal, and finally Director in December 2023.
Mrs. John played a key role in the growth of Auckland House School Society, notably with the establishment of Auckland House School for Boys in 2008. She also served the Diocesan Education Association of the Diocese of Amritsar with distinction.
She is survived by her husband, Mr. Michael A. John, founding principal of AHS for Boys; her son, Mr. Reuben T. John, current principal of AHS for Boys; daughter Swati Cheryl John; daughter-in-law Chriselle Fernandes; and grandson Ezra Michael John.
The Auckland House School Society, along with the Diocese of Amritsar, extends heartfelt condolences to her family and acknowledges the immeasurable impact she had on the institution and community. Her passing is an irreplaceable loss for all who knew her.
What a loss of a wonderful human being… May God give forbearance to the family and peace to her soul…om Shanti 🙏
This is so sad……. Our heartfelt condolences to the family. May God grant peace to her soul: Om Shanti 🙏🙏
The news of Sunitha’s untimely passing came as a big shock to us here in Ottawa, Canada. She was a wonderful and inspiring person and her memory and influence will run deep for all who had the good fortune to know her. May her dear soul Rest In Peace 🙏
Our deepest sympathies go out especially to Michael, Terry and Cherie.
