Grand Reunion – Held on Saturday, October 9, 2021
After two years of hard work by well over 50 Alumni together with PTAs, Boards, the Schools’ Principals and staff, we are now on the inside lane to the long awaited FIRST EVER GRAND REUNION of our alma maters, Harrison College and Queen’s College. We look forward to the culmination of this historic effort which brings together alumni across the world and across seven decades as we walk down nostalgia lane RINGING THE COLLEGE BELLS
Reconnect virtually and celebrate alumni at the MEET AND GREET. Networking is one of the best ways to reconnect with our fellow alumni and/or make inroads for that next career step. This event is a great opportunity to virtually connect to the College/Kolij network which is over 15,000 strong. We can mingle with alumni professionals and friends interested in reconnecting, finding collaborators, sharing resources, and inspiring new projects. No matter where we are in the world, we can participate. You never know who you might meet!
We will meet in a VIRTUAL COCKTAIL PARTY, reconnect and reminisce and have fun.
The 8 Alumni who have received AWARDS WILL BE UNVEILED. We will celebrate fellow alumni who have excelled in their fields and, in addition, make two special awards. Thirty eight nominations were received and we are in the countdown to the final 8.
We will also CELEBRATE THE GIFT OF EDUCATION: Success stories of alumni are evidence that economic or social status does not determine success. The history of our schools is replete with success stories of alumni who have come from humble circumstances and, through education, liberated their capability. We are celebrating the transformative role of education. In celebrating alumni, we celebrate the history of education in our country. Our schools are among those which have made it possible for students to make contributions not only to Barbados, but within the region and globally.
We also have some ENTERTAINMENT up our sleeve.
In celebrating the results of education, we will GIVE BACK. We invite the entire alumni body — whether attending our virtual events or not– to contribute to our fundraising efforts so that our schools continue to create extraordinary futures for our youth. We thank those who have already pledged. So far we have raised Barbados $10,000 in pledges against our goal of BDS $1 Million.
