We’re very sorry to announce that our College tortoise, Tortellini, became poorly several days ago and, following a visit to the vet, has since died in his sleep. We heard the sad news this morning.
Tortellini was a regular fixture in the Danson Room and we know he will be missed by many members of College, especially the Tortoise Rangers. Tortellini was given to the students as a gift by Tim Gardam upon his resignation as Principal. In 2018, Tortellini triumphed at the Corpus Christi Tortoise Race – his historic win has been preserved forever here:

Many thanks to all those who looked after Tortellini during his happy life at St Anne’s.
