The Old Melburnians Society is a dynamic and evolving community. If you look closely, you will see it in action all around you.
You can see the values and traditions of our community through the ANZAC Service of Commemoration which honours Old Melburnians who served our country in WWI and other conflicts.
You can feel the enduring bonds between Old Melburnians through our Branch and Class Reunions and our Annual Dinner, which reunite our alumni around the world – whether they left School 70 years ago, or five years ago.
You can experience the camaraderie and support which the Old Melburnians Society offers its members through initiatives such as the Business Breakfast, our Career Masterclass, and OM Journeys Speaker series, to name just a few.
You can contribute to our community by becoming involved as a volunteer, or for those aged 30 and under, by applying to become a Dick Cotton Fellow.
I know there is more we can do to deliver on our purpose of bringing together generations of Old Melburnians for the benefit of all, and I would like to invite all Old Melburnians to tell us what is important to them via an online Survey here.
In the meantime, I hope you will join us to experience the many benefits of being an Old Melburnian in 2023.
