NVSHS Alumni
In case you did not know, NVSHS now has an Alumni Association. This will benefit current students in the not to distant future, and help to foster community ties between current students and past students (Alumni).
What is an Alumnus (or Alumni)?
An alumnus is a former student of a particular institution. However, when you have alumni (plural) coming together for a common goal, you don’t just have a group of former students, you have a group of people who have pride for where we came from, and have determination to create a better future by providing support for their fellow alumni and school community.
NVSHS Alumni Association
The NVSHS Alumni Association was born in November 2012. It has however, only just started to get off the ground as of 2014. We now have executives, and a committee to help build our alumni community, put plans into action and contribute back to the school community.
Our Mission:
To create a collaborative community, based on our NVSHS roots, which has the ability to provide a supportive network to current students, other alumni and the wider school community.
How do we plan to put our mission into action?
While we are not at the stage of funding school events, and providing scholarships and bursaries, we can aim towards this. Through using the resources we have and growing in strength and numbers each year we are creating a stronger and more resourceful community.
As a starting point, we aim to inspire current students and create bonds between themselves and alumni. We are working towards providing students with more access to industry professionals (who are alumni) in order to give them the opportunity to gain an understanding about the industries they are hoping to pursue. This brings current students one step closer to the real world, and gives them a familiar face to consult with and gain strength from if they have any questions or concerns.
