Copperfield College Alumni
Copperfield College Alumni Program
From the first nervous day of Year 7 to Year 12 graduation night, high school is a chapter packed with growth, discovery, and connection. But what happens once the uniforms are hung up and the exams are complete? For many, the journey doesn’t end — it evolves.
That’s where the Copperfield College Alumni program steps in.
The Alumni Program is more than just a database of past students; it’s a living, breathing network of experiences, achievements, and memories. The program aims to reconnect former classmates, celebrate milestones, and open doors for current students through classroom talks, events and mentorship.
Whether you're a graduate from the first graduating year of 1985, or a 2024 graduate, your journey and insights matter. Joining the Alumni program means joining a legacy of lifelong learning and community at Copperfield College.
