By Julia Evans FORMER PRIME Minister John Key, rugby player Andy Ellis and author Eleanor Catton could soon be part of an alumni association at their old school. Burnside High School is investigating the possibility of establishing an association for previous students for the first time in its 58-year history. Principal Phil Holstein said the plan is in “its infancy.” “It’s in the planning phase. But at this stage we’re seriously considering ways to keep our former students connected to the school. As well as reconnect them with current students,” he said. But he said there are a few hurdles the school and its board of trustees had to overcome before the plan could progress any further. “It’s something that’s really in the mind of the board. But to start it after 58 years, it’s going to be a challenge,” he said. Challenges come in terms of developing the infrastructure to host the former students first, he said. •Turn to page 7
