what is Class Gift?
In 2009 a group of graduating students thought about all the wonderful memories and experiences that St Andrews had given them and decided to give back by setting up a Class Gift to support the students following in their footsteps. We are continuing this journey.
who are we?

The answer is a lot!

2021 through our first virtual event: Minecraft 'Build Your Own Dream Accommodation' Challenge.

Since then we've been planning lots more exciting virtual activities and events - so keep checking out this space and our Facebook page and Instagram to find out what's happening when.
New Event in October!
We are hosting a SCARY STORY COMPETITION until the 31 October. It is open to everyone to all ages who might know a hair raising story or two. Enter the competition, spook out some folks with your tales, get a chance to win a prize, and help us raise funds! Please submit your stories here.
