This week and the next, the Harrison College teams head to the National Stadium for Interschool Sports. Harrison College enters this competition as DEFENDING CHAMPIONS (boys).
The haters will be out in full force (as usual!), loud and strong.
We usually ignore the silliness. After all, empty vessels...
HOWEVER, this year will be different. This year we are putting ALL of the pride and spirit of Harrisonians present and past into supporting the teams!
The OHS will be wishing the teams the best of luck this Friday morning 12th March 2010 at a special presentation at Full Assembly in the Hall.
Let's show our athletes that we care!!! Bring out your ties, tie pins, scarves, tshirts or whatever Kolij mementos you have and put them in your car, wear them, hang them in your cubicles or offices or wherever is best to show your support.
Please also post your well wishes on the wall of the group page so that the teams know that the ENTIRE HARRISON COLLEGE FAMILY is behind them 1000% !
Let's go Kolij, let's go!!
With Founders Week less than two weeks away, the Old Harrisonian Society will be hosting three major events during the period. The Sports Day, the House Party and the Annual Barbeque.
To ensure these events are a success, we need your help. These donations can come in whatever form you are most comfortable with. Time, money expertise, we are always grateful.
So how can you help? Monetary donations are always welcome, but in addition to this we need volunteers to come out on those days to work. Do you own or work for a company that can contribute? Discounts are always good. So you see, you do have something to offer.
The OHS is continually trying to give back to the school and the community. We hope you feel the same way and will give towards the work of the OHS. I hope we can count on your support, whether it comes as people, time or money. Please send us a message to let us know what that special contribution will be.

Large turnout at OHS EGM
Extraordinary General Meeting
There was a well above average turnout at the OHS extraordinary general
meeting held on Wednesday 17th February at 5:30 pm in the College Hall.
The meeting was called by the OHS Council to present for adoption a
revised constitution and name change. So was it the controversy around one
of the suggested new names for OHS that brought the members out or could
it be that we are seeing a rekindling of a desire to admit that one attended
Harrison College?
Whatever the reason the numbers attending significantly exceeded those
recorded at any meeting held in the last six years. The discussion was lively
and when it came to the vote the motion to change the name failed to
achieve the required two-thirds majority by just four votes.
So then it was on to a somewhat less highly charged debate around the
revised constitution probably because all the changes proposed sought to
improve the existing constitution. The improvements included:
- Increasing period of notice to members from 14 to 21 days
- Introducing nominations for Council elections to be in advance of date
of AGM
- Enabling members to vote by proxy
- Setting up of four standing committees to assist the Council in the
successful operation of the OHS
After the President allowed all those who wanted to contribute to the debate
to do so the motion to adopt the revised draft constitution to replace the
current OHS constitution was put to the vote. This time the two-thirds
majority was easily reached with some 96% of those present and entitled to
vote casting their vote in favour.
So the OHS now has a modern up to date constitution under which it can
plan to operate for continued growth.
Council meeting
At the first Council meeting following the EGM the OHS Council co-opted
Dr. Roland Clarke to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation late last year
of Mr. Montague Barrow, CBE, BSS. Roland joins Adrian Randall
- President, Winston Crichlow – Senior Vice President, Tammi Pilgrim
– Junior Vice President, Sandra Martindale – Secretary, Owen Springer –
Treasurer, Stacia Burrowes, Wayne Forde and Cameron Sobers – Council
members.
In line with the new constitution the Council duly elected the following to
chair the four standing committees:
Membership: Mr. Cameron Sobers
Finance: Lt. Col. V. Owen Springer
Public Relations: Mr. Adrian Randall
Heritage: Ms. Tammi Pilgrim
