Alumni
from THISTLE 2020
The Alumni Office’s main objective is to maintain a fluent relationship between the School and its former pupils, and amongst the former pupils themselves. It is through various events and activities that we manage to maintain the St. Andrew’s spark lit in each one of them, offering not only professional support, but personal guidance as well.
