Alumni

Wherever your next steps have taken you, we would love to hear from you!

We are inviting past students to connect with Borinya to share their pathways, learnings and life adventures after leaving Borinya. We would love to be able to spotlight past students post Borinya pathways and celebrate their achievements and milestones.

Here are some of the ideas to build our alumni community:

  • Find and connect with alumni
  • Invite alumni back to school to inspire students about study and career pathways
  • Invite alumni to provide life skills experience for our students 

That’s a snapshot of what we do. There’s a lot more involved in building an alumni community that keeps growing, decade after decade, generation after generation.
