New year resolutions…

… seemed to have played themselves out. Or at least that’s how I saw it till some time ago. On further reflection, I found them to be a good mechanism to set or renew personal ambitions and goals.

So, if the Ex-Student Association was a person; I wonder what this person’s New Year resolutions would be? The mission statement for the association can give some direction — however these are useless unless backed up with acheivable targets (or even targets to stretch for).

So my resolution on behalf of this “person” is to work towards enhancing the school library; making it a place for inspiration and ambition. For reflection and for enlightenment.

The Aussies have already started the New Year.. here in Oslo, we will be ushering in the New Year with another Stanislite Mike Barretto and family.

Whatever our resolutions, I wish us success in 2007 in all that we set our minds to do! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

  • Outing Sundays

    ByDaril Atkins

    While we boarders spent most of the year in house, we did have visiting Sundays and outing Sundays. The former was to allow relatives to visit their wards, and the latter was to allow the wards to be taken out for a day. On visiting Sundays I would watch with some envy the boys who…

  • teachers … & teaching

    A few observations from around the globe on teachers & teaching I found interesting;  I never did very well in math. I could never seem to persuade the teacher that I hadn’t meant my answers literally. [Calvin Trillin] I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework. [Lily…
