Old students are also expected to create and sustain an environment that is conducive to effective learning. They should encourage sound study habits and academic excellence among students while organizing seminars, debates, conferences, and workshops for both students and teachers. Sponsorship of retreats and refresher programmes for teachers forms part of their developmental responsibilities.
In practical terms, they may provide coaching and mentoring for less privileged or struggling students, organize extension and enrichment courses, and contribute to the construction and equipping of laboratories, classrooms, hostels, and libraries. They can endow scholarships, provide financial assistance where necessary, and offer counseling and career guidance services.
Beyond material support, old students must serve as moral examples, demonstrating discipline, integrity, industry, and positive value orientation. Through their life experiences, they should guide younger generations away from social vices and encourage devotion to family, church, profession, and humanity, thereby strengthening both the school and the nation at large.
