Alumni Assn AGM on Nov.12

Am sorry I put this blog to sleep.
But I promise to be hyperactive from now on!

The AGM of the Alumni Assn. is to be held at the school campus on Nov.12, Sat, 3 p.m. onwards and letters have gone out to all those who are members.

 However, past students are welcome to the meet and can sign up as members on the spot - this will allow you to take part in the meet.
The school management is taking some effort to have a healthy and vibrant Alumni Assn. and the elections to be held on Sat. should revive the Assn. at least now and help move forward.
This may well be a nice start as the school enters its 101st year!

School's A-Day to come up

This weekend, St. Anthony's is due to hold its Annual Day - we as alumni have not been told of it nor received a formal invite.
Following the HM's call to me to drop by for a chat and despite several calls back, the HM's office said she was busy with the A-Day event.
Loads of gossip about the fate of the so called alumni assn. is flying around. It is obvious, the ad hoc team has fallen apart.
It is also clear that a string centenary plan for the school is yet to be drawn up.

New Head Mistress has Ideas

The Head Mistress who took charge in June 2010 at St Anthonys says she would like to bring the alumni, the students, the parents and the management together to celebrate the centenary in a special way.

She is making efforts in this direction. This seems to be a positive move after the school's centenary seemed to have been locked in the cold storage.

The HM mentions plans to have an event in February 2011.

More will be posted here as things roll.

Do email your ideas too - vincentsjottings@gmail.com is the ID.

This blog is a personal effort and is not managed on behalf of the school, the alumni or any group.
But it does communicate.

Alumni Assn Team steps down

The secretary of the Alumni Assn, in an email says that he and his team have stepped down after the annual alumni meet went through on Sunday, Jan 9.
It is not clear what prompted this move.

There has been criticism in the past in the manner in which this team ran its affairs.
There is now room for some freshness and a new beginning. Especially in a centenary year.

I have asked Benedict, the ex Secy to provide some pictures of the alumni show which we will post here.

Alumni meets on Jan.9

The men who run the Alumni Assn. of the school emailed - to say that the annual meet takes place this weekend.
I rcd this mail because I am a Life Member.
I replied - saying that as a mark of protest I would not attend. I protest against the school, its management and the illegal alumni group which runs this association for the manner in which it has treated the school centenary which runs into 2011.
All we got to hear last year was that a Mass was said in june 2010.

Is this the way an international congregation treats a centenary?
