Ourschool is a not-for-profit alumni service helping former public school students connect with their old secondary schools. Why?
Because alumni can be inspirational, relatable role models for current students.
We help public secondary schools build their alumni networks to benefit students and strengthen their school communities.
Ourschool unlocks the power of alumni to inspire students about study and career pathways and to create new opportunities for students.
Building supportive alumni networks is a practical and meaningful way to help schools lift student aspirations, broaden student opportunities and enhance equality of opportunity in school education.
We’re creating systemic change in public school education thanks to partnerships with our pioneer supporters.
The need:
Public secondary school students are missing out on the benefits of an inspirational, supportive alumni community.
Our vision:
Every Australian public secondary school has a thriving alumni community whose members are easily able to give back to their old schools.
Our purpose:
To help public secondary schools form and grow their alumni communities for the benefit of current students and their schools.
Our difference:
