On behalf of the Cathkin Trust, I am delighted to extend warm greetings to friends, community leaders, honoured quests, educators and Alumni attending this prestigious occasion of our school’s 50th anniversary. It is not easy to believe that what was once a dream is now being fulfilled. Eighteen months of emails; phone calls; Facebook posts; WhatsApp messages and committee meetings, all played a role in today’s gathering. This has been achieved by former students and past and present teachers who formed and registered a Trust to achieve their objectives. The objectives of the Trust are:
1-to celebrate the school’s 50th anniversary by hosting the Jubilee Gala Evening.
2-to help the school expand its provision of quality education.
3-to contribute to the upliftment of the community through outreach programs.
The Trust has hosted “meet and greet” sessions to encourage and facilitate participation by ex-learners. Learners both past and present, are encouraged to attend these sessions to share stories and photographs so that a historical timeline can be constructed. The “meet and greet” sessions will be ongoing and future dates will be shared via social media platforms.
As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Cathkin High School, the Trust salutes the important contribution the school has made to students by providing quality education that has stood the test of time. The Trust also expresses our deep gratitude to our sponsors: Barrons Estate and Caterers; Pidetective Security; Treverians Dance Band; Absolute @Large Creative Printing Solutions “ and to the many others who have supported us in arranging this event.
Tonight is a time to rekindle friendships and make more lasting memories.
So let us celebrate this joyous occasion like only we Cathkinites can.
SUMMUM BONUM
Anthony Abrahams
