Old Birkfeldians

We like to think that we prepare our students for life, not just for exams or for university.

Which is why we are very proud of our Old Birkfeldians, the school’s alumni, who provide, of course, the best example of what a St Joseph’s education produces and the best advertisement for our school.

In recent years St Joseph’s students have gone on to have highly successful careers in business, industry, politics, show business, the arts, sport, medicine, the armed forces…the list is long. We like to keep in touch with our alumni, inviting them back into the school community to inspire and guide current students as they start to consider their own futures.

We also want to help our past students to maintain the naturally strong bonds that each cohort makes during their time at St Joseph’s.

This is why we have appointed a dedicated Alumni Co-ordinator, Lucy Bolton, to help keep our past students connected with the school and with each other, through special events, newsletters and through social media channels such as Facebook.

Our latest 'Old Birkfeldian' newsletter can be found.

Hello,

I would like to introduce myself as the Events and Alumni Co-ordinator here at the College. My role is wide-ranging, but includes organising summer balls and our prestigious annual Rugby Festival. I have three children at the College, Oscar in the senior school, and Bonnie and Joe in the Prep. We, as a family, love being part of the community at St Joseph’s College.

Meeting many of you at this year’s Rugby Festival was lovely and I hope to get a chance to meet more of you at some point in the near future, to find out about how you have been getting on since your time at the College. St Joseph’s is and always has been a family, bolstered by the constant support and buzzing involvement of our College alumni. Many of our events held here at the school are a great way to catch up with old pals who you may not otherwise get to see regularly. The College aims to develop and strengthen the Old Birkfelidian community, building on current ties with alumni.

Our Birkfield Society has benefitted through a fabulous entourage of Old Birkfeldians returning to the College to deliver talks on their life post-St Joseph’s and their time at the College.

Please follow us on Facebook, Instagram and twitter.

Old Birkeldian merchandise is also available at www.coes.co.uk

I will look forward to meeting you soon.

LUCY BOLTON, MARKETING AND ALUMNI OFFICER
