Administrative HistoryThe Guild was first appointed under the name 'Kennaway Hall Guild' at a General House meeting 21 June 1919. It was an association for former CMS and CEZMS students (and any other student resident for at least one year) with the objective of linking 'past and present members of the Family'. It was run by a committee including five current students, the principal of Kennaway Hall as president, a vice-president and past dtudents' representatives. Honorary membership was open to current and former staff and associate membership to current students. Its principal activities were production of an annual newsletter, a bursary fund, an annual reunion and retreat. Over time the name, remit and membership of the Guild changed to incorporate St Andrew's and the move to Foxbury.
