Why Should You Attend?
The theme for the St Mark's Schools Swaziland centenary celebrations events is "MY ST MARK'S, LETS TAKE IT FORWARD". The Swazi chapter of the alumni is keen to use this opportunity for us to come together and discuss the following issues:

  • Setting up a fully constituted alumni and development office structure that will help create a database and regularly communicate with ex-students about various issues that may interest them.
  • How ex-students, ex-staff and friends can help in developing a strategic plan for St Mark's Primary and High School.
  • How ex-students, ex-staff and friends can help develop a strategic plan and financially assist the schools e.g. setting up a scholarship fund for deserving students, setting up mentorship programs for the school leavers and so on.

The Swazi chapter of the alumni would like to invite all St Mark's ex-students, ex-staff and friends of St Mark's to attend the St Mark's Schools Swaziland centenary celebrations events in order for us to celebrate together.
