News & Updates

The Anna Regina Secondary School Alumni Association was established out of a vision to reconnect, uplift, and give back to the school that has shaped so many lives. With the rise of digital media and social networking, the initiative started as a concept to bring together thousands of alumni for the school's 50th Jubilee celebration. In just two months, this vision became a reality, with over 900+ alumni registering on the website—an achievement that confirmed the need to formalize an association. At the inaugural meet and greet, 200+ alumni attended, marking the beginning of a lifelong network dedicated to preserving the school’s legacy.

Spearheaded by a passionate team of alumni specializing in graphic design, marketing, and information technology, the website and association were created through countless hours of dedication. The association will be governed by approximately 20 voluntary alumni delegates representing the school’s 61-year history and spanning multiple countries. Efforts are already in motion to establish the association legally, complete with a constitution, by-laws, membership database, and formal agreements with the school.

But this is more than just a network—it is a movement. The association's mission is to foster a lasting connection between past and present students, support educational initiatives, and inspire future generations with the achievements of those who have walked these halls before them.
