One’s association with SMA does not end at graduation. SMA
hopes that students will continue to have life-long personal and
professionalties with it and their peers after graduation. It is with this
objective in mind that the SMA Alumni Club (SMAAC) was founded
on 16 October 2000 to create an enduring and active network
amongst the students and alumni. In 2005/2006, the club had a 75
strong membership; comprising 38 Associate members, 24 Ordinary
members and 13 Life members.
SMAAC is run by a Management Committee elected from among the
various SMA programmes. The office-bearers in the Management
Committee volunteer their time to organise activities for the club
members. In 2005/2006, this was in the hands of the 5th Management
Committee.
The committee launched the year’s programme with a Networking
Night. Members met up for a hearty reunion with their former
classmates and heard from one of the members who shared his
experiences as a start-up entrepreneur.
A series of activities followed thereafter. These included a Nature
Walk to the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, a movie night where
the action thriller ‘King Kong’ was screened and a charity painting
project co-organised with the Rotaract Club to spring clean and paint
the homes of old folks.
SMAAC welcomes the new SMA-2 phase and will continue to
support SMA by promoting interaction between students and alumni.
SMAAC will do its best to foster a SMA community so that members
can feel at home in SMA and Singapore.
