The St Joseph’s Con­vent Port-of-Spain (SJC POS) Class of 1975 re­cent­ly cel­e­brat­ed the 50th an­niver­sary of its fifth form grad­u­a­tion from the school in a joint cel­e­bra­tion with the sixth form grad­u­at­ing class of 1977.

A to­tal of 61 alum­nae par­tic­i­pat­ed in a se­ries of fundrais­ing events from May 13 to 18—in­clud­ing 13 who trav­elled from the Ba­hamas, Bar­ba­dos, Cana­da, the Unit­ed King­dom and the Unit­ed States to at­tend.

The week-long cel­e­bra­tions in­clud­ed tours of Pres­i­dent’s House; limes at The Ar­bore­tum (Ch­aguara­mas), and Gas­pa­ree Is­land; a nu­tri­tion sem­i­nar fa­cil­i­tat­ed by Su­san Daniel; a Dance-a-Roke Night (Karaoke with Waist!); a pho­to­shoot at the school; and a potluck gath­er­ing in Cas­cade.

The week cul­mi­nat­ed in the school’s An­nu­al Re­union Mass, cel­e­brat­ed by His Grace, Arch­bish­op Ja­son Gor­don, fol­lowed by a lun­cheon at CIC Hall.

The SJC POS Class of 1975-77 chose two pri­or­i­ty projects to sup­port, in­clud­ing the re­place­ment of gut­ter­ing across the school and the in­stal­la­tion of an emer­gency stair­case in the Ex­am Block.

Thus far, this year’s Gold­en An­niver­sary alum­nae have raised the sum of $141,500, or 47 per cent of the de­sired tar­get set by the Past Pupils As­so­ci­a­tion’s Fifty at 50 Years Gold­en An­niver­sary fundrais­ing project.
