New Lodge School Old Scholars Network

The new Lodge School Old Scholars Association (LSOSA) social and information network was launched yesterday. The LSOSA network is more than just a website, it is an online community that bridges the geographical and generation boundaries of past and present Lodge School students.

The Lodge School Old Scholars network seeks to keep old scholars connected to present and past school mates, teachers and other staff whether they are residing locally, regionally or internationally. All old scholars are invited to visit and sign up via the following link. lodgeschoolalumni.org

Old Scholars Monthly Lime & Inter-House Sports

Please note that the Lodge School Old Scholars Monthly Lime will be held on February 5, 2010 at the Lodge School. It will coincide with the Lodge School Inter-House Sports.

We are encouraging all Old Scholars to wear their old house colours to the sports day. There will be fun events for the old scholars to participate in which will commence at approximately 1:00 p.m. just before the Relays. After the relays we will have a few more events before we retire to the School Hall for refreshments.

As usual we urge every one to bring their coolers the drinks the eats what ever we can share. Come out and support your old house, and by extension , the athletes who will be representing The lodge School at the upcoming Inter School Sports.

Look out for the Theme Limes. Coming at the end of February will be the Lovers Lime (Red and White affair).

Lodge School! Lodge School!

Well clan, I had the faith that it was only a matter of time before we started to make some movements in the right direction. This site for the Lodge School Alumni is not just a welcomed sight, it surpasses expectation.

Much thanks must be heaped upon Glyne for his initiative. This site has the potential to pull all the parts of Lodge School together; past, present and even future. Already it has proved to be a good virtual liming spot. It has many features and there is a space here for everyone; young and old(er).

One great feature is the links to Facebook Lodge School groups. It means that from one site we can get to see all the activities and neworks between the different year groups. Hopefully, we can produce a Lodge School year e-book or e-magazine, featuring the school and its activities.

I am sure that the Principal of the school may find this a useful forum to keep the alumni abreast of what is happening at the school and this in turn will give us an opportunity to give back by engaging in or contributing to these activities.

The most sensational part of the site is the webcast. Already we have Michael Jules volunteering to do as much as he can with sports. It means too that next inter-school sports, we should be able to broadcast live and with the right team, could cover all the sporting activities that include Lodge School.

We certainly look forward to this site growing at a rapid rate. Already the troops are rolling in and the site is only 3 days old. Houba, the Lodge School yahoogroup was a good initiative at the time and maybe we have not yet outgrown that. It is a reliable means of communicating and maybe we should incorporate that idea into this site, especially because it has been penetrated by spammers.

My biggest concern is that we need to reach the students at the school; especially from fourth form up. Maybe we can do it right here.
