    St. George's School Windsor Castle Association CHRONICLE 2019

    St. George’s School Windsor Castle Association CHRONICLE 2019 Welcome to another edition of the Chronicle, one that is likely to be the last. In years gone by Old Pupils’ news used to be included in the Chronicle as part of the school’s summary of each term. At the end of the last century, this section migrated to the newly School Magazine but by the beginning of this century disappeared from view giving rise to the rebirth of The Chronicle. Proving that there is nothing new under the sun, from next year the two publications will be reunited as part of the drive under way to integrate alumni matters within the daily operation of the school. This is a very welcome development and one that comes early in our new Headmaster’s tenure. William and Catherine Goldsmith joined St George’s in January of this year and have right from the beginning been kind and interested hosts to the Association Committee. I hope that you get to meet them both in the near future and hear William’s hopes and plans for the school. It is perhaps an opportune moment to remind ourselves the objects of the Association as with the arrival of a new Headmaster I am sure we will all wish to ensure he receives our support and encouragement as he charts the path ahead: The objects shall be to encourage Members to keep in touch with each other and with the School. Members shall also be encouraged to give their support to the School, its Choral Traditions, and the Headmaster whenever they can do so.
