St. James' School Alumni Association
Former students of the School got together in 1998, under the leadership of Mr. Marcus Rodrick (student of St. James’ School and former Senior Headmaster and Vice Principal), and approached the Principal at the time - Mr. Daryl Bloud - to form an Alumni Association. The society now has over 200 members.
The society holds the annual Independence Cup for football, played with teams comprising four house teams, one prefects’ team, one senior staff team, one service staff team, two alumni teams and one parents team, on 15 August.
The society hosts an Annual Dinner. The society has a website.
The members of the Alumni are encouraged to be present at the annual Founder's Day Service, held on the 25th July. Students of class 12 are encouraged to join the Alumni.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or association:
“Nevertheless, no school can work well for children if parents and teachers do not act in partnership on behalf of the children’s best interests. Parents have every right to understand what is happening to their children at school, and teachers have the responsibility to share that information without prejudicial judgment.... Such communication, which can only be in a child’s interest, is not possible without mutual trust between parent and teacher.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“The spiritual kinship between Lincoln and Whitman was founded upon their Americanism, their essential Westernism. Whitman had grown up without much formal education; Lincoln had scarcely any education. One had become the notable poet of the day; one the orator of the Gettsyburg Address. It was inevitable that Whitman as a poet should turn with a feeling of kinship to Lincoln, and even without any association or contact feel that Lincoln was his.”
—Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
