About Society of Anglican Students
What is SAS?
The Society of Anglican Students (SAS) is a Christian fellowship organization established in secondary schools under the Anglican Church. It provides a platform for Anglican students to grow spiritually, develop leadership skills, and engage in community service while maintaining their Anglican identity.
SAS in Secondary Schools
In secondary schools across the country, SAS serves as a vital spiritual and social community for Anglican students. The society organizes regular fellowship meetings, Bible studies, prayer sessions, and outreach programs. It helps students to deepen their faith, understand Anglican traditions, and apply Christian principles in their daily lives.
History of St. Paul's SAS
St. Paul's SAS was established in 2024 by a group of dedicated Anglican students and teachers who recognized the need for a spiritual community within the school. Starting with just 15 members, the society has grown significantly to become one of the most active student organizations in the school.
Under the guidance of the school chaplain and with support from the local Anglican diocese, St. Paul's SAS has developed a comprehensive program that includes weekly meetings, monthly outreach activities, and participation in regional and national SAS events. The society has been instrumental in nurturing spiritual growth and developing leadership skills among its members.
