Bunbury SHS Graduates Society - Alumni

BUNBURY SHS GRADUATES SOCIETY (ALUMNI)

Interim BSHS Graduates Society (Alumni) Association.

There are two key focus areas for the Alumni:

1. Create an appropriate Governance structure that can set the Alumni up for the future; and
2. Implement an idea that will raise awareness of the Alumni and attract former students and staff to consider joining and being involved.

Status Update:

Governance Structure

• The Bunbury Senior High School (BSHS) Graduates Society - Alumni registration as an incorporated Not For Profit organisation has finally been accepted by the Associations Branch of the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety.
• With the Constitution achieving registration, an Alumni Council meeting will be called and positions filled through the Graduates Society inaugural AGM.
• The AGM is to be confirmed.

The 1000 People Project

• BSHS Alumni is introducing a first-ever event designed to get YOU to come back to school, connect with like-minded former students and staff who all want to give back to the school that gave them so much.
• Let’s perform together in the spirit of learning that pays forward the wisdom and unity you gained from your time at BSHS.
• On Friday 3 December 2021 bring your voice, or your guitar, or your drums, or brass, or your triangle to perform a musical classic that, like us, has stood the test of time. Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen.
• Numbers are capped at 1000 (and there are 72,257 likely contenders), register and you will receive your lyrics and/or music sheet to practice.
• Registration details are about to be launched.
• BSHS Alumni would love you to join to help grow our school community. 

There is a small team working on the implementation of this idea, but many hands make light work. If you have a gift of time and/or talent, please let the school know.

We would like to thank Principal Mike Sinagra and his team, particularly Ellie in Marketing, Geoff Ogden and the music school and key and enthusiastic students and teachers from the Media and Photography team.

If you are interested in joining the Alumni Council, please contact Mike Sinagra at michael.sinagra2@education.wa.edu.au or visit the Graduates Society website. Your support and participation in developing the Graduates Society is welcome, needed, and important in giving back to a school that gave so much to its graduates and former staff.

Yours sincerely
