The Headmaster was informed that Ali Hagagi, a young student who was preparing to continue his IB Diploma at St Edward’s College where he has been a student for many years, is recovering.
Background
If this summer can be remembered by anyone occurrence, it has to be the accident that left our dear student Ali Hagagi in a coma.
Ali’s family contacted the college to say that he had had a bad accident and was, for a time in the Intensive Therapy Unit. He was later transferred to the neurosurgical ward where he was kept under observation for a long time.
Meanwhile, as the word spread, messages of solidarity and support poured in from his fellow classmates and schoolmates as well as from his teachers. Some of the teachers were, indeed, dumbstruck by what had happened. They recalled Ali as a charming, lively and well-mannered boy.
Progress
Headmaster read a message which Mr Hagagi sent him about Ali. In it, he says that his son is making progress and is being rehabilitated. He said that while the progress is slow, it is progress nonetheless.

The College celebrated its patron saint St Edward the Confessor. As the College Chaplain pointed out during Mass, it is quite unusual to find saints among the rich and powerful. As Edwardians, the students were advised to follow his example and walk in the path laid out by the college motto: Virtue and Honour.
During Assembly, Headmaster Mr Nollaig Mac An Bhaird had a special mention for a student who had spent his years at the college and was due to start the IB diploma this year. Described by Headmaster as a lovable rogue, Ali Hagagi had a terrible accident and is currently in a coma. Prayers in Arabic and English were offered up in the hope that Ali gets better.
The students celebrated the day with special sports sessions organised by Mr Paul Ferrante and his team of dedicated sports teachers.
