"Excellence in Education-Own it"

Celebrated Openings for a Refurbished Gym and a Student Hostel

 

The newly refurbished gym in the Dahlia Repole Complex was opened on September 26 to much applause. The PTA gift to the school was made possible through the untiring fundraising work of the PTA and donors including the Daria Brown Taylor Memorial Fund, the SAHS Florida and Georgia Alumnae Associations, Tropishades Limited, PJ’s Cuisine Ltd and the Atlas Group Limited.

Air conditioned and equipped with the latest equipment the gym will be a great assist to the School’s Sports Development program. Staff as well as students will use the gym.

Thank You! The SAHS Foundation with tremendous support from alumnae overseas and locally and many well wishers has gifted the school, a $13 million renovation and refurbishing of the former Fay Simpson Staff Cottage for student housing. 

This fulfils a long recognised need to provide for students in need of safe accommodation, those with long commutes from outside the corporate area and overseas students. Up to 14 students under the care of a house mother can be accommodated.  

Foundation Director Christine Stiebel and her husband Douglas, along with Foundation directors, an engaged alumnae and friends are to be credited for tremendous work in making this possible. $6.3 million in cash alone was donated this year to purchase furnishings and with a fully subscribed Amazon gift registry and many donations in kind, the home is ready.

Officially Open! – L-R Principal Keeva Ingram, Foundation Chair Maxine Henry-Wilson, Grade 10A Student Eunice Missick, former principal Sharon Reid, Board of Management Chair Radley Reid, Foundation Director and Hostel Project Manager Christine Stiebel.
