We have found that as people change addresses andcontact details, the school inevitably loses contact with them as our database is nolonger current. This new initiative will go a long way to solving this problem as itmakes it very easy for people to update their details online. We are looking forwardto hearing from our Old Collegians and learning about their news and achievementssince graduation,” Ross said.Planned developments for the site include a footy tipping competition for the2014 season and a virtual tour of the school’s three campuses. There will also be theopportunity for Old Collegians to be involved in mentoring current students.To log in as a member on the site, please visit http://alumni.clarendon.vic.edu.au/or go to the School website http://www.clarendon.vic.edu.au/ and follow the linksto the alumni page. Once there you will need to click the “register” button.Should you have any problems logging in or have any queries about the site,please contact Ross Henderson on (03) 5330 8200 or email [email protected]
