54 YEARS: OUR STORY, OUR PRIDE
A 54th Anniversary Message from the Model Old Pupils Association
As we celebrate 54 years of our beloved school, we do not only celebrate a number. We celebrate a story. A story built by many hands, many hearts and many generations of Modelians.
54 Years: Our Story, Our Pride.
Our story began many years ago, but it continues to be written every day by the people who have passed through these gates, taught in these classrooms, served this school, supported its growth and carried the name of the school wherever they go.
Today, the Model Old Pupils Association proudly celebrates every person who has played a part in this beautiful story.
We especially salute our Alumni and our President, Madam Fatu Abiod, for the great work she has done over the years in keeping the spirit of Modelians alive. Her commitment, love for the school and service to the Alumni community have added another meaningful chapter to our story and strengthened the pride we have in being Modelians.
We also proudly recognise our Band Leader, Mr. Kenneth Williams, himself a Modelian, who has done more than well in using music and the school band to build our pride. Through his dedication and hard work, the sound of our school continues to remind us of who we are and where we come from.
We celebrate our SSS Principal, Mr. Abass Leigh, another proud Modelian, whose contribution to the school has become part of our continuing story. His service, leadership and commitment to the pupils are helping to shape the next chapter of our pride.
We also extend our appreciation to our Board Chairman, Mr. Alphonso Manley, a proud Modelian, for his service and contribution to the progress of our school. His role reminds us that our responsibility to Model does not end when we leave the classroom. We carry that responsibility with us.
To all old pupils, your achievements, your support and the way you continue to identify with the school are part of our story. Every Modelian who has gone out into the world and carried the name of the school with pride has added a page to this great history.
To our teachers, past and present, we say thank you. You have shaped minds, guided young people and helped turn dreams into reality. Much of the pride we celebrate today started with a teacher who believed in a child.
To our parents and supporters, thank you for believing in the school and standing behind its work. Your encouragement, sacrifices and support have helped keep the school moving forward. You too are part of our story.
And to our current pupils, remember that the story is now in your hands. You are not simply students of today; you are the Modelians who will tell tomorrow’s story. Learn well, dream big, respect your school and carry the name of Model with pride wherever you go.
As we mark 54 years, may we never forget where our story began, may we appreciate those who have helped to write it, and may we continue to work together to make the next chapter even more meaningful.
54 years of memories.
54 years of learning.
54 years of service.
54 years of building lives.
54 years of being Modelians.
The story is ours.
The pride is ours.
And the future is ours to build.
Happy 54th Anniversary to our beloved school.
