Information flow from Christ’s Hospital

The Committee discussed ways in which the information flow from the School might be improved.

A Member mentioned a former publication, “Who’s Blue” which provided Members with information on former students of the School. The Development Officer, Christ’s Hospital reported that she believed that this was now available online but that she would clarify this and come back to the Committee on the matter.

The Development Officer also undertook to provide all Committee Members with School Calendars and to provide Donation Governors with Christ’s Hospital pins.
