CGS ALUMNI NEWS SYDNEY REUNION On Friday 21 February, CGS hosted an Alumni Reunion in Sydney at the Republic Hotel. It was warming to see some of the old faces (some of whom the School has caught up within London before) and to welcome some new Alumni to the group. This Reunion was off the back of a meeting with The Mentor Evolution, where the new Mentoring Programme was workshopped. Therefore, not only were the contingent able to talk to the group about the programme, it also gave the Alumni an opportunity to discuss mentoring amongst themselves and the possibility of establishing mentoring partnerships within the group. The group stayed until late in the night and shared stories from School and favourite teacher memories. These Reunions give the Community Development Office a chance to bring Alumni together who, in most circumstances, wouldn’t often mingle or even get the chance to meet. It once again proves how the bonds developed whilst at CGS transcend age and social circles, and their continued success is a testament to the value placed on these relationships.
REGIONAL VISITS AND DATES FOR DIARY After a year impacted by bushfires and COVID-19, and the postponement of the regular community engagement programme, staff from the Community Development and Admissions Offices travelled to regional areas to catch up with our current families and to engage with prospective families. Unfortunately, for the wellbeing and safety of the CGS community, the School does not currently plan to host any Alumni Reunions on-campus in 2020. 42 | CGS OUTLOOK | Semester One 2020
