ESU President Update

The Ex-Students’ Union Committee has been very productive and busy over the last few months. On 28 July, we continued the wonderful tradition of celebrating Commemoration Day in the College Chapel. The Ex-Students’ Choir performed beautifully and Dr Rowena Mobbs (Newcombe, 1998) delivered an inspiring talk during the service. All of our guests then joined together for a delicious morning tea to reflect on the service and chat.

On 13 September, the Committee presented gifts welcoming our current Year 12 cohort to the Ex-Students’ Union. Amy Graham (2017) presented to the students and shared insights from her journey beyond school. We wish all Year 12 students good luck in their Higher School Certificate examinations and more importantly, in life beyond school. We look forward to having you as part of our ever-expanding cohort and benefiting from the network that we offer. 

Since July, the Ex-Students’ Union Committee has run three consultation sessions with members regarding potential changes to our structure and constitution. We welcome the input that we have received so far and look forward to sharing more information on this in the coming months. If you are interested, keep an eye out for any communications, emails, or Facebook posts. 

On Saturday 21 September, on a glorious spring day, the iconic Ex-Students’ Union Chicken Sandwich and Champagne Stall continued to delight Garden Party attendees. The stall looked so beautiful, and it was wonderful to connect with so many of the broader College Community. Thank you to all who volunteered to serve on the day. 

If you are interested in joining the Ex-Students’ Union Committee, we welcome new members and have plenty of ideas and work to go around. Please feel free to reach out to myself or other committee members.
