Building a lasting legacy

Following the success of our 4 July event, planning is already well underway for what’s next for the Rosmini Old Boys Association (ROBA).

While there have been small, passionate attempts to run an Old Boys association in the past, this time it’s different. ROBA is being intentionally established with long-term infrastructure to ensure it thrives for generations to come. At the heart of this rebuild is a clear mission driven by our three pillars: Connect, Celebrate, and Support.

Professional Support & Leadership

To execute this vision, we now have a dedicated, part-time Alumni & Engagement Officer, Sara Prendergast, handling day-to-day operations. Sara is your central point of contact - managing our new alumni database, launching official newsletters, and leading event planning.

Sara's work is fully supported and guided by our passionate ROBA Steering Group & Committee:

• John Thornley (Class of 1998) – Rosmini Board Member
• Luis Poe (Class of 1996) – Rosmini Board Member
• Mine De Belder – Long-time Rosmini Staff Member & Staff Liaison Board Member

Together, this team is setting up professional systems to ensure consistent and transparent communication, archive our rich history, and celebrate your journeys after leaving the school gates.

Reconnecting & Milestone Reunions

One of the most encouraging outcomes from our July event has been hearing from Old Boys eager to organize milestone reunions and reconnect with former classmates. Supporting these milestone gatherings, alongside creating fresh opportunities for alumni to engage with each other and the College, will be a major focus over the coming months.

Have your say: What would you like to see?

ROBA exists for you, and we want to know how you’d like to connect.

At this stage, we are planning a casual catch-up at a local venue in Takapuna, but we are open to your ideas. Whether you have a suggestion for an event, want to organize a reunion, or wish to get involved in a future initiative, we’d love to hear from you.
