The St Mark’s Old Collegians’ Association, established in 1927, is made up of a very active and inspiring group of past students.
Current students can build meaningful connections and access mentoring from this extensive global alumni of over 3,500 members.
When students leave St Mark’s, they are eligible for membership in the Old Collegians’ Association. They join a dynamic community of more than 3,500 Marksmen and Markswomen.
An annually-elected committee organises a variety of social events and reunions to suit the various demographics and interests of members. The Old Collegians’ Association provides a bursary for new students who have had a relative attend College. The Committee also works closely with the St Mark’s Foundation with respect to fundraising for the College.
Connections with a well-established and involved alumni also help prepare current students for their future careers. Mentoring by Old Collegians can help provide the tools needed to develop job-ready skills.
