Once a Columban, always a Columban
Our College will always be your College
That sense of lifelong belonging is at the heart of St Columba’s Connects, a play on the acronym we all speak of SCC, encompassing our vibrant community of former students, parents, staff and friends of our College. More than 6,500 Alumni who, with our wider network of over 13,000 members celebrate our rich history and enduring spirit of St Columba’s College through philanthropy, mentoring, shared values and giving back.
Our members actively support our current generation of students as well as each other by playing a vital role in supporting career development, mentoring and work placements. We thank them for contributing to our bursary programme enabling students to experience our first class education and co-curricular opportunities. St Columba’s Connects offers opportunities to keep in touch, give back and be part of our Columban Community through attending reunions and our many events we hold throughout the year. A highlight of the year is our annual Inspiration Day, where Alumni return to share their professional journeys and insights with our current students – helping to guide and inspire the next generation of Columbans.
Connections continue long after leaving SCC, many of our families have deep roots here, with grandparents, parents and children all part of the same proud educational tradition. Some former students have returned as staff, who proudly wear our alumni tie, others now send their own children to St Columba’s. This sense of continuity and connection is at the heart of what makes our community so special sharing values that have always shaped our College Charism of holistic education.
Our school leavers are invited to their first ‘Class of’ December reunion event as they become members of our Alumni and many return to our annual Columban Fayre, where we look forward to catching up and hearing their news since leaving us – This is what makes St Columba’s College special!
