STAY IN TOUCH The new Grammar Community Engagement Team would like to hear more of the lives, work and activities of our past students. As people move beyond school, we urge you to stay in contact as we endeavour to maintain and strengthen relations with all sections of the Launceston Grammar family. One aspect of our outreach is publication of our monthly Alumni e-newsletter. With the benefits of social media, there has never been an easier way to stay connected with each other. Please send your news and let us know about significant events, both personally and professionally via Alumni@lcgs.tas. edu.au or the school’s Facebook page, facebook.com/launcestongrammar. We look forward to sharing and celebrating together as we maintain and strengthen our networks.
