Introducing:
PGS Connect The Development Office has launched a new online portal to help alumni stay connected with each other and with the school, wherever they are in the world. As this new online community becomes fully established, registered members will be able to: • • • •
Update their contact details, create a profile, and choose their communication preferences Catch up with the latest news from the school and OP community Check out the latest photos from the school and its archives Register for reunions and other alumni events
• • • •
Track down old school friends Search out other OPs in the same profession or line of business, or even the same company Seek guidance and support about universities and careers Find an OP mentor, or offer to mentor someone else
The portal is open to pupils from the end of Year 12 (with parental consent) so they can seek advice from the OP community about the universities or career paths that they are considering. Find out more at www.connect.pgs.org.uk
A Final Thank You
This edition of Portmuthian would not have been possible without the dedication and commitment from the team. Chief Editor Thomas Locke, ably supported by Hannah Rayner and Louisa Glading worked relentlessly throughout lockdown and long into their summer holidays to finish the magazine on time. Furthermore, the dedicated team of Year 9 students Jiali Hicks, Sabiha Sabikunnaher, Fola Odofin, Dawn Sands and Sophia Cheng pulled together to write articles and create fabulous artwork for the publication - they were crucial to its success! Well done to all. 124
