Every Sydenham High student automatically becomes an alumna when they leave the school. They also join an unrivalled worldwide network of more than 70,000 women who have experienced a GDST education.
There’s no charge to belong to the alumnae network, so if don’t already hear from us or the GDST, please register here to receive GDST Girl, formerly ‘Verve’ (the annual magazine), e-zines and gain access to exclusive events and career networking opportunities. By registering with the GDST, we will also access your details and be able to contact you about upcoming events or special projects should you so wish.
GDST Life
Our network is our superpower – from the perspective of our family of 25 schools collaborating and sharing expertise to help girls learn without limits, or from life after school, as an alumna. The GDST has an alumnae network of more than 70,000 women – one of the largest of its kind anywhere in the world – from all walks of life and around the globe, who are there to support and inspire each other.
GDST Life is the gateway to this community, from the moment students go into Sixth Form, giving them the opportunity to connect with others across the GDST family of schools. And for alumnae, it opens the door to a host of new networking opportunities, unrivalled personal and professional connections, mentoring support, events, news and resources, groups and societies, and much, much more – for life.

Mentoring and career guidance
In a time-honoured tradition, we look to our alumnae to help current pupils as mentors and career guides. We would be delighted to hear from former pupils who can offer their time by way of talks, individual mentoring or offers of work experience.
