At Oaks Park, we have a thriving Alumni community who continue to play an active role within our school life. We regularly have Alumni interact with our current students through offering talks or write ups about activities that they have undertaken since leaving Oaks Park High School. These methods are excellent at providing information, advice and guidance to our current students, who may be interested in following a similar path to them in the future.
Our alumni often express that the support that they gained at Oaks Park was integral in giving them the ambition to succeed and that the knowledge and skills they learnt at our school have stayed with them for years to come.
Shurjo and Ismail (Alumni, 2019), who now study at LSE, delivered a talk on applying to university to our Year 12 students.
Shahnaz (Alumni, 2012) who now works as an Automation Architect at Vodafone, delivered a talk on diversity and the increased role of technology at work.
Each year we get a large number of alumni attend our school careers fair, which is attended by more than 1,000 students, to show case their professions.
There are a number of ways in which alumni can continue to stay connected and support the school and it's current students in developing their careers knowledge and understanding:
Deliver a talk to our current students about your profession and company.
Take part in a workshop, helping students with employability skills.
Attend our careers fair to showcase your company.
To get involved, please join our alumni network on Linkedin and by submitting the following access request form. A member of the careers team will then get in touch with you to arrange a date for your session
