ONLINE COMMEM 2021

All members of our Glenalmond community - current and past pupils and families, our staff and all those who are friends of Glenalmond - are extended a very warm welcome to join us on Saturday, July 3rd at 11am for our Online Commem.

Our Online Commem will involve an adaption of our traditional service in Chapel and prize-giving which will be followed by members of our pipe band (meeting social distancing requirements) playing in our Front Quad, before the doors under Front Arch are swung closed, signalling the traditional end of our academic year.

The event will feature an address by our Chairman, Niall Booker, and an address and reading by our Warden, Dr Michael Alderson. Our Captains of Coll, Leon and Louisa, will also make a joint address reflecting on their College experiences. Our service will also involve our Chaplain, Rev Stephen Graham and Bishop of St Andrew's, Dunkeld and Dunblane, the Right Reverend Ian Paton. 

Music will include the Commem service Hymn - "Holy, Holy, Holy" along with "Te Deum" and "The Carmen", traditionally sung at the end of the prizegiving ceremony which follows our Chapel service.

The running order for Online Commem on Saturday 3rd July is as follows:

11am: Chapel Service and prizegiving  - view HERE from 11am

12pm: Post-Commem picnic - please enjoy a celebration with us, wherever you are in the world.

Details of our prizewinners etc will be posted on our website and social feeds from 2pm on Friday, along with other content which can be browsed through before the start of Commem.

If you would like to share pictures of pupils and families - we'd especially love to see our Leavers - please send your Commem picnic pictures for use via social media to our Director of Marketing, Carol McLaren, via WhatsApp - 07894738607 or email:[email protected]

We very much hope you enjoy our Online Commem 2021 as an opportunity to reflect on all that has been achieved in this exceptional, and challenging, year and to share our thanks to all those who have helped and supported us in the past year, including our pupils and their parents, our staff and Council members.

Most importantly, we hope you will join us to wish our wonderful leavers every success in the future. We will miss our Upper Sixth pupils but we know you are ready to head out into the world with a Glenalmond education under your belt, a strong work ethic and a respect for the people who surround us and the world we live in.

Floreat Glenalmond!
