There have been many revivals of the alumni association of Good Hope over the years but they soon died out for lack of sustained interest and support. The current committee is composed of a group of talented, enthusiastic and committed members.
The one objective of the Alumni Association which has been most successfully achieved is ”To foster and maintain a spirit of fellowship and loyalty among its alumni.” We see clear evidence of this in our Alumni Homecoming weekends where past students and staff come together and reminisce about the past and enjoy catching up with friends of long ago. We need to capitalise on this and extend the prevailing goodwill to the other equally important objectives of assisting our alma mater as best we can.
As an Alumni Committee we will have to use every means and effort at our disposal to make our aims and events worthwhile supporting. May we as we sing our school song “From the halls of Good Hope College comes the call...” respond with vigour that “We have heard Thy call to service,” bearing in mind “Officium est sacrum” (Duty is sacred.)
