 | | Sociales |
Dear Former Pupils,
As St. Andrews is about to enter its 170th year of existence, a remarkable achievement exclusive to very few institutions in our country, we are increasingly aware of how important it is to maintain a strong link with our very rich traditions.
Honoring our history is not just a healthy exercise in learning from the past, but most importantly a way to reinforce our identity and strengthen our values.
And, clearly, what is unique about the school''s history and what transcends the factual recounting is that St. Andrew''s has contributed to the development of the Argentine society by means of its graduates, who have in numerous cases become prominent figures in the local community.
Every year at Founders' Day the whole school gets together in assemblies at the different sectors to formally pay tribute to the spirit and determination of the first settlers who back in 1838 started what would later become St. Andrew's Scots School. As from this year, we will also recognize at Founders'' Day the outstanding contribution of our graduates to Argentine society by means of the St. Andrew''s Former Pupil Award. Every year, a specially appointed jury will select a former pupil who exemplifies the values outlined in our School Mission and hand out the award in a special presentation at the Senior School Assembly.
The winner will be chosen amongst a list of nominees that will be put forward by former pupils as per the procedure that accompanies this letter based on their personal record and achievements in the light of the core values in our Statement of Values: integrity, respect and responsibility.
We ask that you please take the time to read the attached procedure, reflect upon what St. Andrew''s stands for in your own perspective after attending the school and who, to your knowledge, would best embody that unique life experience so dear to all of us, trusting that this will also provide an opportunity to get in touch with former classmates and discuss it together.
We also wish to take advantage of this opportunity to invite you to come to visit the school and in that way renew your link with St. Andrew''s by contacting the Alumni Office at 4790-5371 ext. 307, or at alumni@sanandres.esc.edu.ar.
Sincerely,
Gabriel Rshaid
Headmaster
