 Message from the OSA Chair

Dear Alumni

It has been a very busy couple of months as we head towards the end of the year. From the amazing dinner at the end of September, to the Golf Day on the 21^st of October. With all this going on, it has been great to see more and more people getting involved and coming to the events.

This past weekend the school held the second annual St Stithians Waterpolo Festival and from what I could see, it was a great success. This week sees the OSA hosting the first combined campus Carols by Candlelight and it is setting up to be a fantastic event. With all the schools now well into wrapping up the year with exams, we look forward to next year as we start a new phase of the OSA.

The new year will see the launch of the new ‘Value Proposition’ for members which includes a number of value adding products and services which you will be able to take advantage of. Along with this, we will open our doors to other members of the St Stithians community, such as parents and teachers, who will be able to join as an Associate Member and be able to receive some of the value of being an Alumni of St Stithians.

We will also be unveiling the OSA Trust and its focus areas, as we look to ensure we are contributing to the school, the Saints community and of course the Alumni.

We are also entering into the planning phase for expanding our current footprint on campus as we look to further increase the facilities which can be used by the school and the Alumni. There are a number of ideas on the table and these need to be discussed before we move on any of them, however, the future looks very exciting.

The new year will also see the launch of the new website which will be an upgrade on the current site and offer a range of new services, but you will have to wait and see what they are.

To the girls specifically, we are always looking for you to get involved on the Committee in one form or the other and if you are interested and have the time, please feel free to drop me a mail.

I also welcome any form of feedback or suggestions on what we are doing, including the Higher Ground Restaurant.

Until next time,

Kind regards,

Shaun Edmeston (1998)
