The Catholic community has lost a “passionate and enthusiastic educator” with the sudden death Brendan Schollum
Schollum died last Friday aged 67 at Auckland Hospital after he was admitted for an infection, viral encephalitis, that caused swelling in his brain.
Schollum was the founding principal of Aquinas College in Tauranga when it opened in 2003 until his retirement in 2010, when he returned to his home city Auckland.
His passing comes only 16 months after his wife Jane died of brain cancer. Mrs Schollum also worked at Aquinas College as a librarian.
At the time of his death Schollum was the acting principal of Marcellin College in Auckland.
He had also served the principal of Sacred Heart College and acting as principal of De La Salle College.
