Welcome to the O.S.U. Website

Welcome to the new O.S.U. website, which has been designed to keep members of the Union informed of the activities that we are undertaking this year and to report on a variety of topics of interest to Old Sydneians of all ages.

The traditional function of the Union is to encourage and facilitate ongoing interaction between the Alumni of Sydney Grammar School and the School. Focused around the year group reunions of five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty, forty-five, fifty, fifty-five, sixty and yes, sixty-five year reunions, means that Old Sydneians are encouraged to meet every five years for as long as they care to. As President, I have just had the great pleasure of representing the Union at the first series of 60th reunions that were very well supported by more than fifty members of the year of 1949-1950.

Apart from the Reunions and our Annual Dinner, the most exciting initiative of the Union that was commenced in 2010, after a long period of development, was the O.S.U. Mentoring Project – a long-term effort to enable Old Sydneians to benefit from career advice from fellow Old Sydneians and key industry and professional experts as they progress through their chosen careers. The resources of the Union are delivered through the office of the Union with the indispensable help and support of the School, The Headmaster and the Trustees and for which the Union records its ongoing appreciation.

As we enter the second decade of the new millennium, also the 118th year of the Union (established 22nd September 1893), it requires that we offer our members programs and initiatives that best cater to their current and possible future needs and interests.

The School publishes two outstanding publications, being, the Foundations Magazine and the annual Sydneian Year Book, the former is sent to more than 14,000 members of the Grammar Community and the latter to the graduating class/Year 12 students.

Starting in January 2011, the Union’s email newsletter formerly called ’The Alligator’ is renamed to ‘The Black & Gold’ and will form the basis of our ongoing communication with the members of the Union.

The O.S.U. website is a continuing work in progress and your feedback is not only welcome but very much encouraged.
