Merchiston Old Boys Association

 

In the spirit of The Blue Heart, and with the purpose of fostering a sense of pride, community and continuity, we have formalised a Merchiston Old Boys Association (MOBA). The MOBA’s focus will be on regular communication with the aim of carrying forward the school’s heritage and developing a true spirit of loyalty and love for the school. We want to keep Old Boys in touch with our school and each other and assist in maintaining friendships. We are exceptionally proud of our Old Boys and want to foster a continued sense of belonging to the Merchiston community.

EXPLORE

The Blue Heart

In 2014, Merchiston launched an initiative called “The Blue Heart” which encompasses five fingers, or philosophies, which formally define five different aspects of the school. They inform how everyone who is a part of the Merchiston community behaves. The Blue Heart has fast become the heart of the school, unifying all of us as a family and enabling us to show care, kindness and consideration to all who pass through our doors. It links us through good times and bad, through the past and the future and ensures that we become all that we can be. The five fingers on the hand, include: CARE, SUPPORT, MENTORSHIP, OUTREACH & FOUNDATION.

Foundation

The Foundation philosophy of The Blue Heart represents exactly that – the foundations upon which the school has been built and from which it continues to grow. This encompasses the deep history, traditions, heritage, and past pupils of the school, which all contribute to Merchiston’s esteemed reputation as a highly-regarded preparatory school for boys. The Foundation finger of The Blue Heart has led us to set up a formal Old Boys Association, to foster better and clearer communication.

Facebook

Social media is a great way for us to connect and interact with Old Boys, promote fellowship and maintain a link with the school’s history and future, regardless of where our Old Boys may reside. We have a new Facebook page for the Old Boys Association, which is being run and administered by the school. Please like the page and send on to any Old Boys you may know.

Newsletter

We will be sending a regular newsletter “The Old Mudrats Chat” to all Old Boys on our database, keeping them in touch with the school and our news and achievements, but more importantly, serving to regularly connect our Old Boys to each other and the school.
