St. Stanislaus College Postal Stamp
Government of Guyana issued three sets of postal stamps to mark 150 years of Jesuit service in Guyana. As it is engraved on the stamp Jesuits arrived in Guyana in the year 1857. One of their significant services to the nation was St. Stanislaus College. To mark this one of three postal stamp was dedicated to St. Stanislaus College. I wonder whether students are aware of this postal stamp since electronic mail has taken over this old form of communication.
Postal Stamp to mark Centenary of the College, from 1907 - 2007
This postal stamp marks a zealous Jesuit missionary Fr Cuthbert Cary Elwes SJ. whose work with Amerindians is commendable.
This stamp marks the Sacred Heart Church in Guyana, a largest wooden Church which was burnt down 2004 by unpredicted fire.
Indoor Hockey
The St. Stanislaus Under-13 girls team recently took part in an Indoor Hockey competition and acquitted themselves very well.

Lions Club makes donation to St Stanislaus College
In 2011, we received a set of Recycle Bins and Clocks from the Georgetown Stabroek Lions' Club on the occasion of World Service Day. These gifts made us much more conscious of the need to recycle in the interests of saving energy and that of not wasting time. We take this opportunity to thank the Lions for their generous gifts.

A Remarkable History of the College
Fr. Clement Barraud S.J. (1880-1900)
IN October 1880 - the care of the Grammar School (St. Stanislaus College was known at its inception) was entrusted to one who was to
devote his energies to it for the next '20 years, Fr. Clement Barraud, S.J. When he took over., he tells
us, there were fifteen boys and an Assistant Master whose salary was double what the school brought in
- so financial difficulties are nothing new in the history of the College. It was during this time Fr. Barraud composed the hymn of St. Stanislaus and the discussion on the statue of St. Stanislaus to be installed was underway.

Past and present
students of Saints have formed a hockey team.
Having benefitted from coaching by the Hikers Hockey Club for a number
of years, they now feel they have the numbers and capacity to venture out on
their own and form their own independent club
Those elected were:
President- Joel Hunte, Vice President- Marcia Persaud, Treasurer- Rushelle
Matthias, Secretary- Yonnick Peters and Assistant Secretary/Treasurer- Hilton
Chester.
Saints are expected
to rest much of their hopes squarely on Joel Hunt and Leroy Jack who are both a
part of the current national Under-21 squad.
The first match saw
the newly formed Saints Club take on the Airbenders, a side made up primarily
of the women’s national squad. The All
Greys take the field for the first time against Saints on Saturday March 17
The tournament is
expected to be completed on May 13.
