FGSCAA Marks 10th Anniversary and Swears In New Executive Committee

FGSCAA celebrated its 10th anniversary alongside the formal swearing-in of the newly elected Executive Committee for the 2026/2027–2027/2028 financial years, with members also honouring the Board of Trustees for their contribution to the Association’s continuity and growth.

The Festac Grammar School Class of 1998 Alumni Association (FGSCAA) marked a significant milestone on Saturday, 26 September 2026, with the formal swearing-in of its newly elected Executive Committee and the celebration of the Association’s 10th anniversary.

Formal Swearing-In Ceremony

The day began with the Association’s official meeting, during which the Board of Trustees formally swore in the newly elected Executive Committee for the 2026/2027–2027/2028 financial years.

The ceremony represented an orderly leadership transition and reaffirmed FGSCAA’s commitment to continuity, accountability and institutional governance.

Celebrating a Decade

Following the formal proceedings, members moved into the anniversary celebration, marking 10 years of togetherness, friendship, service and collective responsibility since the Association’s establishment in 2016.

The anniversary provided an opportunity to reflect on the Association’s journey, including member welfare, educational support, interventions at Festac Grammar School and wider humanitarian initiatives.

As part of the 10th Anniversary celebration, FGSCAA also recognised the contribution of the Board of Trustees to the continuity and development of the Association.

Members presented gifts to the Trustees as an expression of appreciation for their service and for the role they have played in sustaining the Association over the years.

The recognition formed part of the wider anniversary programme celebrating a decade of fellowship, service, institutional continuity and shared responsibility within the Festac Grammar School Class of 1998 Alumni Association.
