A POWERFUL NETWORK When girls leave Croydon High they automatically become part of the Ivy Link Network – a
The
Iv y Link Friends of the Croydon High School Linking
fantastic, vibrant organisation which links alumnae, former staff and friends of the school. For some, this is purely a means of keeping in touch with their school friends and teachers, hearing school news and attending the odd reunion. For others it is a powerful network of like-minded women, all at different stages of their lives and careers, who share the common bond that is Croydon High School. The support these women can offer each other is invaluable. From career mentoring and presentations in school, to work
placements, advice on applications and introductions to networking events, this ‘old girls’ network is really powerful and really working. The wider GDST Alumnae Network gives even more opportunities for Croydon High Sixth Formers to access wide and willing support, with over 67,000 former pupils forming a totally unique web of experience for girls to tap in to. That is the real strength of our Ivy Link Network. We are connected to girls like you, studying at university. They are willing to talk, to advise and in many cases, meet you at Open Days to give you a real insight in to their student lives. What other school can offer you this fantastic resource? They say “it is not what you know, it is who you know,” but when it comes to making the best choices for Life after school, we think it is probably both!
