Why have an alumni?
The alumni is the collective body of former students that have previously been enrolled at the College and its predecessor schools, especially within their year groups.
The Alumni association (“The Alumni") acts as the overarching body to promote and facilitate connections between the Alumni and the College.
The Alumni association was Incorporated in Queensland in 2012 and is governed by its own constitution and managed by an independent management committee that is elected by its membership each year.
What exactly is the College and what are the predecessor schools?
The College is Kelvin Grove State College and it now controls all schooling levels from Prep through to Year 12. The predecessor schools cover the following:
- Kelvin Grove State High,
- Kelvin Grove Primary,
- Kelvin Grove Infants,
- Kelvin Grove Boys,
- Kelvin Grove Girls & Infants as well as
- North Brisbane Intermediate.
The first school dates right back to 1875.
Can we hold our own reunion and event for our class?
Yes, each year group is free to organize their own gatherings and reunions. The Alumni is eager to support these events in various practical ways.
What else does the alumni do?
The Alumni facilitates a connection between former students and the College community in the present time. The Alumni also maintains an interest in the welfare of the College and its students.
The Alumni may well offer awards and Scholarships on a needs basis and undertakes restoration projects to preserve the history of the Kelvin Grove educational institutions.
What about the history side of things?
The Alumni actively works in partnership with the College to preserve the history of the College and its predecessor schools.

In addition, they will be able to delve into copies of magazines, Concert Programmes, Speech Night Programmes, awards, honour boards, building plans and much, much more.
The Alumni maintains several common social media platforms promoting active communication amongst its community.
What costs are involved in operating the Alumni?
