The continuing legacy of St Edmund’s is rich in the Canberra community, and we give thanks for the sense of belonging that our community provides for so many ‘Old Boy’s and Friends.’ By participating in the Association’s events, it provides a valuable link with the College for students beyond their years of schooling.
Last Tuesday, Year 12 students had a breakfast to begin their last week of classes. Students were presented with a cap from Mr Matt De Jong President of the Old Boy’s and Friends Association, and he shared a short reflection with the boys of the benefits of the Association. These include the following:
Old Boys & Friends Association Objectives
