The Rendezvous

Alumni Meet – Celebrating Bonds and Building Futures 🎓💫

Every time we host an Alumni Meet at St. Britto’s, my heart fills with nostalgia and pride. To me, our alumni are not just “former students”; they are an inseparable part of our school’s journey, carrying with them the memories, values, and friendships that were nurtured within these walls. An alumni gathering is never just a reunion—it is a celebration of bonds that time can never erase.

I often see it in their faces when they walk into the campus: the sparkle in their eyes as they step into classrooms where they once laughed, learned, and even got scolded; the way they recall nicknames, favorite teachers, and untold secrets; the joy in meeting friends who feel like family. These little moments make every meet magical.

There is a saying I truly connect with: “Your Alma Mater is like a mother, patiently accepts all your hoots but proudly boasts your achievements to the world.” And it is so true. Watching our alumni grow into doctors, engineers, teachers, entrepreneurs, and leaders in their own fields gives me immense pride—not only as an educator, but as someone who has walked alongside them in their formative years.

What touches me even more is their willingness to give back. Many of our alumni return not only to relive memories, but to mentor, to guide, and to inspire the next generation. Some offer scholarships, some volunteer in community programs, and some simply share their journeys with current students—reminding them that dreams are achievable with perseverance. These contributions—whether big or small—show the strength of the bond they share with their Alma Mater.

I still cherish the 2016 Mega Meet, when nearly 1,500 alumni gathered to celebrate a decade of memories. It was overwhelming to see the joy, the laughter, and the deep connections that were rekindled. For me, it felt like the school itself came alive through their voices, their stories, and their gratitude.

At St. Britto’s, our alumni are more than just a part of the past—they are a bridge between the past, the present, and the future. Their presence inspires current students, their support strengthens our initiatives, and their love keeps the spirit of our institution alive.

Every Alumni Meet reminds me that education is not only about the lessons we teach, but about the relationships we build. And as our alumni return year after year, I see in them living proof of what St. Britto’s stands for: bonds that last a lifetime, and futures built on strong roots.
