SDConnect
THE ALUMNI PLATFORM FOR ALL PAST STUDENTS, PARENTS AND STAFF
Launched a year ago, just under 500 Dunstonians are now registered on the College’s alumni platform, SDConnect which enables Association members to reconnect with old friends, look for mentoring options or work experience, or find out more about alumni events.
The Dunstonian Digital Archives are also available to those registered onto SDConnect. All Chronicles of the College are being digitalised over two years and the first batch from 1960 to 2019 is being digitalised as we go to print and will be available to view from September 2020.
We would encourage all Dunstonians who have yet to do so, to register onto SDConnect at https://dunstonians.org.uk as all communications will flow from the alumni platform from 1 July 2020.

LAUNCH OF MERCHANDISE RANGE
The eight wooden house shields that were hung in the Learning Resource Centre for many years are in the process of being restored to their original colours (pictured right before restoration). Once this is done, the images will be digitised for use on a new range of merchandise to be launched in time for Christmas 2020.
If all goes to plan, items will be available online from SDConnect this Autumn as well as from the new onsite shop at the College from September 2021. Items will include branded mugs, ties, tea towels, umbrellas, teddy bears, puzzles, cufflinks and so much more.
