SJCM past students to stage their first school reunion

Past Students of the Marriaqua Secondary School, now St Joseph’s Convent Marriaqua (SJCM), are for the first time in the history of the school planning a school reunion to take place the week of July 14 to 21, 2012.{{more}}

The reunion is being spearheaded by a special Planning Committee of the Past Students’ Association.

The main objectives of the reunion are to keep alive the vision of the late Sister Patricia-Ann Douglas for the school in the education thrust of this country; to allow friends to reconnect with each other as a school family; and to raise funds to assist the school so that the current students and those to come can benefit in a tangible way from those who have passed through the halls of the school.

The SJCM has been on the educational landscape of this country for the past 44 years. It has been, over those years, producing out-standing, well-rounded and highly educated citizens for this country. The school continues to be one of the leading schools in the area of discipline, under its current Principal Sister Jacintha Wallace.

Some of the highlights of this year’s school reunion include: MSS/SJCM Talent Show and Exhibition on Monday, July 16; the inaugural Sister Pat Memorial Lecture, which will be delivered by Monsignor Michael Stewart, on Wednesday July 18 at the SJCM from 7:00 p.m; and our Recognition and Awards Dinner on Saturday, July 21 also at the school.

During the awards dinner, several past students who have made significant contributions to the development of various sectors of our country will be recognized and awarded for their efforts.

The 2012 Reunion is being held under the theme: “Fulfilling the dream; keeping the vision alive.”
