  • Work with the Executive Director, Marketing and Community Engagement to foster strong collaborative relationships with key stakeholders and our volunteer network including the OG Society, PA Committee, Navy Blue Committee, and parentled auxiliaries.
  • Manage alumnae reunions, networking opportunities and mentoring programs that optimise attendance and encourage ongoing engagement with the School.
  • Maintain a commitment to celebrating alumnae and their individual successes (profiles, and awards) including the administration of the annual Emily Hensley Award.
  • Plan and curate relevant communications to promote programs of engagement activities, using appropriate channels including MGGS's digital platforms to the relevant community segments to encourage participation and/ or engagement.
