This platform reflects our commitment to clear, consistent, and accessible communication, ensuring every member of our OVA community stays informed and connected.

Purpose of the Community Portal

The Community Portal has been developed as the central point of connection for Old Virgilians.

It brings together key information in one trusted location and supports a shared understanding across:

Alumni/Old Virgilians

Our goals are to:

Strengthen community connection
Reduce fragmented communication
Ensure timely and accurate information
Provide a welcoming, easy-to-use digital space

A Central Hub for Our Community

The OVA Community Portal will serve as the single source of truth for:

OVA news and announcements
Events and key dates
Community notices and updates
Important resources and links

Other communication channels — including email, newsletters, social media, and printed materials — will continue to be used and will direct back to the Portal for full and current information.

Strengthening Connection Through Consistency

By centralising communication:

Alumni and community members remain connected

This shared approach supports a stronger sense of belonging across the OVA and broader St Virgil's College community.

Quick Access Through QR Codes

To further strengthen connection and accessibility, the OVA Community Portal is supported by OVA branded QR codes.

QR codes will appear on:

Newsletters and Flyers

Posters and signage across campus

Event programs

Digital screens and presentations

Scanning the QR code takes users directly to:

community@oldvirgilians.org.au

This provides instant access on mobile devices and connects our physical spaces with our digital community.

Designed for Our Community

The Community Portal:

Is mobile-friendly and accessible across devices
Uses clear navigation and simple language
Reflects OVA branding and values
Will continue to grow and evolve over time
Community feedback will help guide future improvements.

Quick Access Through QR Codes

The Community Portal offers:

Clearer communication
Easier access to information
Fewer missed updates
Stronger connection to college life

We encourage all members of the OVA community to visit the Portal, bookmark it on their devices, and look for the QR code on college communications.

Looking Ahead

The launch of the OVA Community Portal marks an important step in strengthening how we communicate as a college community.

Through shared information, consistent messaging, and accessible tools, we continue to build a connected and informed community.
