On the nineteenth of January 2023, Amalgamated Security once more sponsored the St. Anthony’s College Annual Achievement Awards Ceremony. It was a day of excellence, where the College’s top performers were awarded and recognized for their academic achievements, as well as their accomplishments in sports, music and performing arts. The annual event is geared at helping the young men of the college gain academic and extracurricular success.
Due to COVID-19, the event could not be held for a while and therefore the 2023 Ceremony encompassed achievements throughout the years 2020 to 2022.
Amalgamated Security’s Chairman, Dr. Michael Aboud (Hon.), also being the Chairperson of the St. Anthony’s College Advisory Board, used his congratulatory message to reassure all the awardees that he looks forward to hearing about this special group as they will navigate their individual journeys through the corridors of St. Anthony’s College and he also placed emphasis on his full confidence that with continued hard work, this group of young men will eventually fulfil their dreams. He did not forget to encourage those students who didn’t make it onto the stage this time, to continue their efforts and to be guided by the benefits of virtues and discipline in their lives, so that one day they also will achieve the goals they are striving for.
