What this means

This is a policy document from St Stithians College outlining the rules for erecting memorials on campus. It specifies three approved locations for memorials—The Garden of Remembrance, the Mike Roberts Memorial Chapel, and the Girls’ College Friendship Tower—while prohibiting plaques on the Daniel Crowsley Memorial Bell Tower and ashes interment except under specific conditions. The policy also states that only certain individuals (current/past pupils and staff, their immediate families) may be memorialized, with costs borne by families and final approval resting with school authorities.
