About Us

We are the SCOBA - those that were fortunate enough to initiate their journey of discovery (education) from the fields of St. Charles' Grammar School in Osogbo - Nigeria. It is our objective here to take you on a journey to discover and appreciate..

History

There is so much to talk about but suffice to say there is not enough room to pen all of it out. And, even if that space was unlimited, we will all have a slightly different story to talk about. See what you think of this attempt

We are the products of a great institution in the city of Osogbo. We are the former students of St Charles' Grammar School, Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria. Those that were fortunate enough to initiate their journey of discovery (education) from the fields of St. Charles. It is our objective here to take you on a journey to discover and appreciate some of the attributes, ethos, ethics, morality, self-reliance to name but a few that were the guiding spirit created in that beautiful environ that has given birth and life to who we are today.

We are hoping in this revamping of the website, to encourage all SCOBA to participate in making it a viable network where interchange of information becomes a commodity which assist SCOBA in their everyday Life. If you look at the personal particulars of each executive, we ask of them to provide as much information as they deem necessary in this public domian so that other SCOBA looking for support or help in a particular field of expertise can generally know who to ask. We are hoping that as we develop and grow the network,this information exchange will become part of a database where SCOBA can readily tap into for a particular search using certain keywords. This is the hope but suffice to say without SCOBA contributions it is merely "pie in the sky".

Reputation

We have a solid structure laid down in a constitution of the association. We are one unique body albeit in segments as Chapters, Branches, Stanzas and Areas. All under the unified umbrella of the Central Executive Council (CEC) that works with the CCWC (SCOBA Central Working Committee) and under one President.

Humilitas

Our mission is to promote efforts to reunite SCOBA of all sets domiciled abroad and back home. That spirit of "Humilitas" and professional ethics ingrained in our "DNA" so to speak at St.Charles makes us standout from the rest. We are using our combined wisdom and knowledge as adults now to re-invigorate that bond and unity of purpose.
In response to the causes and effects of social mobility and civil indices, we came to the conclusion that in our efforts to fraternize, the web is the best platform to facilitate this objective. Utilising all it functionalities ( as much as we can afford) starting with this new website that embodies the kernel and paradigm of the web - the global village.

Fraternity

Our fraternity - a club for men associated together in a bond cultivated in the "lawns Of St. Charles'" which no man or woman can put asunder. It is our intent to be a foremost Alumni group, supporting the governing authority in the provision of quality secondary school education in our alma mater and support of lifelong well-being of all SCOBA.
