This is a culture that we should endeavour to nurture. The relationship with a school does not and should not end with matriculation. We must seek to inculcate in learners that when they proceed to higher education, join the world of work or business, they remain representatives of their former schools in the community, country and the world at large.
It is therefore heartening to be part of this fundraising drive, particularly because the Friends of St Mark’ s have opened their hearts and wallets to deepen and widen an existing initiative by former pupils of St Mark’s who have taken it upon themselves never to allow their Alma Mater to die.
