6 Sept 2026 164th Saint Andrew's Alumni Dinner

 


  One Family Unbroken 

Yesterday was the 164th Saint Andrew's Alumni Dinner. Held at the school hall in St Andrew's Village, our 10 cohort members made merry with a lot of old stories and catching up with the many friends from different cohorts of graduands.

This year's dinner was no different from the previous ones, with quizzes, fund raising events and speeches. One display stood out, the yo - yo presentation by a young Saint - he was phenomenal.

This display exemplified what being a Saint or an old boy means to me. The school provides us with Godly values of truth, honesty, and the development of young men and women to their fullest potential. The school is not only about producing young people with academic excellence or sporting excellence. The school values and celebrates diversity in their hobbies and encourages them to give of their best and be the best versions of themselves.

My takeaway each year is the same. We may reach great heights in our business and corporate lives, but at the end of the day, we give our due respect to our school, the principal, heads of department and teachers who in one way or the other helped us catalyse, initiate and nurture our fledgling lives into who we become. For many of us, the 12 years (in my case), formed much of my character and I am grateful to Saint Andrew's for the opportunity.
