101-year-old alumna Lorna shares her memories of the school
I liaise with marquee suppliers
and our caterer to get quotes for our 600th anniversary Gala Ball in 2023 – it feels amazing to be planning a large-scale live event again. We host the second 2023 Committee meeting, and report back on the progress we’ve made. I spend a Saturday afternoon at
school to interview one of our oldest surviving Old Latins – Lorna, aged 101. A wonderful afternoon (she’s as bright as a button!) and once again
I’m grateful that my role is so varied and that I have the privilege of carrying out such special duties.
April I have a Zoom call with an Old Latin (from the Class of 1974) who will be guest speaker at our forthcoming Archive Day (when we invite alumni to browse the archive with us and bring in any material they want to donate or lend to the school). I’m really looking forward to welcoming
alumni back to school after having had to stage a virtual event for the last two years. I catch up with an alumna (the
designer of our 2023 branding) to brief her about the progress on feasibility work for the Theatre & Arts Centre. My team and I finally select an
alumni database/CRM system, and get governor approval – hooray! I’m delighted to join the Toucan Tech family after so many years of making do with our own little database. I have lots of meetings to start planning our data import, plus an initial training session with Toucan Tech. I also meet with our careers and aspirations lead to discuss the huge potential of the careers and mentoring module. We hold another 2023 Committee
meeting to report back on a brilliant virtual timeline we’re building for our website, share plans for anniversary lectures and podcasts, and dive into our proposed calendar of events for the year. The year ahead is looking incredibly exciting!
