The amazing alumni community at Sarah Bonnell School is growing and actively engaged in sharing success stories and giving back through volunteering.
We believe that alumni involvement is vital to ensure we can have a significant positive impact on the current student body and contribute to a sense of continuity and community within the school.
Here are a few examples of how our Alumni community have engaged with the school over the last few years.
Mentorship Opportunities: Alumni volunteers serve as mentors to current students, providing guidance, advice, and insights into various career paths. These sessions have been meaningful and create connections, helping students make informed decisions about their future.
Governors and Trustees: Alumni volunteers can also serve as governors and trustees on our school and trust board.
Career Talks and Workshops: We have had many Alumni contribute to the school’s career guidance initiatives by participating in career talks, workshops, or panel discussions. Sharing their career journeys, challenges, and successes have inspired and motivated current students as they plan their own futures.
Networking Opportunities: Our Alumni have helped expand students’ professional networks by introducing them to various industries, connecting them with professionals, and providing information about internship or job opportunities.
Volunteer Programmes: Our Alumni are passionate about contributing their time and skills to school initiatives, whether it’s assisting with extracurricular activities, participating in community service projects, or contributing to special events. Their involvement enhances the overall school community and reinforces the idea of giving back.
Building a Supportive Community: Our thriving alumni community creates a sense of camaraderie among former students. By coming back to school, alumni have strengthened connections with each other and with current students, fostering a supportive and collaborative atmosphere.
Our Alumni, now thriving in diverse fields and professions, had the chance to reconnect with former classmates, teachers, and other members of the SBonnell community. The exchange of experiences, career insights, and shared memories fostered a sense of unity and camaraderie among attendees.
Events like these play a crucial role in ensuring that our school remains connected with its community and that alumni maintain strong ties with each other. The gathering served as a reminder of the bonds formed during their time at Sarah Bonnell and the shared experiences that continue to connect them even after graduation
