A CATHOLIC COLLEGE IN THE DOMINICAN TRADITION
Our Alumnae Association started back in 1945 as the 鈥溍厣� Old Girls Union鈥�. The Association has had several name changes over the years and its success comes from the strength of the connections formed by its members.
We welcome all 秘色传媒 alumnae to join the Alumnae Association, and we also extend an invitation to attend the Association meetings and contribute fresh ideas and insights. Alumnae Association President, Alanna Tivisini (秘色传媒 of 2018), and Vice President, Lisa Higgins (秘色传媒 of 1993), invite all alumnae to attend as many events across the year as possible.
The Alumnae Association meets on Monday evenings as per below, from 6.00pm to 7.00pm in the 秘色传媒 College Boardroom and Heritage Centre. If you can't attend a meeting onsite please contact the Alumnae Coordinator and a Zoom link can be provided.
For further information about the Alumnae Association, please contact the Alumnae Coordinator, Emily Nugent via email at alumnae@siena.vic.edu.au or on (03) 9835 0217 (Monday to Thursday).
Each year, the Alumnae Association hosts the Careers Showcase, which features panels of 秘色传媒 alumnae speaking to current students about their study and career pathways since leaving school. The Showcase provides a fantastic opportunity for 秘色传媒 students to hear first hand about the options and possibilities open to them, and is a wonderful way to connect our past and present.
In 2024, the Careers Showcase will take place on the evening of Wednesday, 22 May. It will be a fantastic series of panels representing various career categories such as Medicine, Nursing and Allied Health, Creative Design, Marketing, Architecture, Criminology and Forensics, and more. We look forward to hearing our alumnae speak about their experiences post 秘色传媒, their studies, and the varied career paths they have taken.
