For the world to lose somebody at an age as young as nineteen is always a tragedy; and when the person is someone as beautiful, talented and loaded with potential as Kiah French, who sadly passed way on Wednesday, it becomes all the more difficult to bear. Kiah’s passing is not just a blow to her family and friends, but to the performing arts community, which has been robbed of a bright rising star. One could not ask for a person to be sweeter, more caring or compassionate than Kiah was. She was a devoted friend and a passionate performer. For those of us who were lucky enough to share the ‘Cert 06’ WAAPA experience with Kiah, and also those who have been privileged to work and perform alongside her, I know that her spirit will live on in all we do and accomplish. Any triumph of ours shall be hers also, and through our thoughts and memories we can ensure Kiah achieves the success to which she was entitled in life. Kiah - you were taken too soon but you will always be a part of us. We all love you and we will never forget you. May our thoughts and prayers be with Kiah's family at this tragic time.

im loving memory

Although we never really met, it was absolute pleasure to watch Kiah up for stage for the time we were at St. Hildas. I'll never forget her bright and bubbly personality and words cannot describe the numbness i am feeling. God has taken yet another precious soul from us and the world has really lost a talented young girl. You'll forever be remember, RIP : ) Emily Komiyama

loving memory

although i never met her, i know that the whole St Hildas community is devasted by her death. Especially the teachers, who were close to her were in tears when they found out of her death. She was just one of the few people in the world that was unlucky to die at such a young age.sthildas will be having a drama week dedicated to her. r.i.p
