Celebrating a 40-Year Legacy of Achievement
At St. Matthew School, we take immense pride in our alumni, whose achievements and success stories inspire future generations. From excelling at universities in Colombia and abroad to thriving in exceptional careers worldwide, they embody our school's vision and values.
The Alumni Plaza, or Plaza de Bachilleres, is a powerful tribute to our students' educational journeys. Each year, senior students gather for a meaningful graduation ceremony that celebrates their academic triumphs, honours school values, and connects them to previous generations of St. Matthew alumni. As a centrepiece of the St. Matthew community, the Plaza symbolises the school’s Catholic values and commitment to nurturing well-rounded, spiritually grounded individuals. Its striking architectural design embodies themes of unity and balance, inspiring students to reflect on their accomplishments, embrace their roles as future leaders, and uphold their responsibility to build a better world.
Honouring Students’ Dreams & Aspirations
The Plaza de Bachilleres houses a cherished tradition: the 'Casting of the Column' ceremony. During this event, graduating students contribute to a Time Capsule containing their 20-Year Life Projects—personal visions of their dreams and aspirations. These capsules are sealed within a commemorative column dedicated to their class, creating a tangible connection between the past, present, and future.
Each column is marked with a plaque displaying the graduation year and the names of every student. Two decades later, alumni reunite to open their Time Capsule, reliving their past goals and celebrating their journeys. This enduring tradition strengthens the bond between alumni and the school, inspiring current students to work hard towards their own dreams and ambitions.
