St Andrew's Celebrates a New Era!

Dr. Glenn Canterford, the Principal of St Andrew’s School, recently unveiled the key points of the School’s new Strategic Plan to parents, teachers, faculty and alumni during an evening cocktail reception.  Held on the premises of the Palm Cay Development, the School’s Community Partner, the cocktail reception was attended by over 150 members of the community, and was widely considered a great success.            

Thanks to the generosity of the greater St Andrew’s community, the cocktail reception, and its accompanying silent auction, raised a total of $17,439.00 to benefit the highly-valued St Andrew’s School Scholarship Programme.

 The new Strategic Plan outlines five main goals for the School through the year 2020 and was compiled through the collaborative efforts of every constituency within the school over a 6-month period. The five titled goals capture the essence of the policies and actions required within each module: "Mission Inspires Action”, "Beyond the Classroom”, "Truly International”, "Excellence In Teaching”, and "Ready for the Future”.  A hard copy of the Strategic Plan is available from the St. Andrew’s School Main Office, or via the website at www.standrewsbahamas.com.

Dr. Glenn Canterford said he was pleased with the evening’s event, "It was wonderful to see so many faculty and staff, parents, alumni, and friends of the School enjoying themselves together; we are all eager to begin the work to achieve our goals on behalf of the students and parents. We’re headed in a remarkable direction at St Andrew’s, and it’s a course we have chosen together.” The School’s Development Officer, Nicole Knowles, expressed her thanks to the many sponsors. "It turned out to be a lovely evening that brought our St. Andrew’s family together and proved to be a fitting way to mark an exciting new era here at the School!  So many people and local businesses contributed to the silent auction, as well as the event itself, that we are truly grateful; their generous sponsorship and support was very much appreciated.”
