Their universal email is tsogoalumni.exco@gmail.com, For the latest news on the Alumni Society please look out for emails as well as visit their web page http://tsogoalumni.org.za/society/. For 2010 the Society hosted a price giving for Leaners and Teachers earlier in the year, The Annual Career fair at Tsogo and 2 Alumni Homecoming weekends. If you could not make it for the events we encourage you to make 2011 a year in which you are more involved. A number of alumni have started personal projects with the school through the society or have looked for ways in which they can assist. Again visit http://tsogoalumni.org.za/society/ for more information.

Our alumni are diverse and we wish for them to serve as inspiration as well as possible mentors to others. We want to encourage networking between alumni and will be looking for more ways to connect alumni. If you want to nominate anyone(including yourself) please email us at tsogoalum@gmail.com. We are now also accepting entries of Alumni in the News. So if you are an alum and there is a news story about you somewhere we encourage that you submit that to us so that we can show case the talent that we have. We have also been accepting written pieces (essays etc.) in 2010 and will now actively encourage them. Two such pieces are:
- Life is a Journey Not A Destination – Keabetswe Mogase
- Commemorating Women’s Month – Botlhale Mabatshidi Nong
If you would like to assist in writing we welcome any input. You can send us any memorabilia like pictures or stories that you have about your experiences at and after Tsogo. We really have no boundaries and we love working with Alumni. Keep in mind that all of this is done through volunteering of skills and donations from other Alumni. Supporting each other leads to a better community.
We have multiple ways to connect to Alumni:
- You can visit our website at: http://tsogoalumni.org.za (Webspace Maintained and Donated by Vukosi Marivate)
- The most important connection method that we keep is the Alumni Database, to be listed and also be part of the email group please go to http://tsogoalumni.org.za/social-networking/contact-update-form. You can also update your contact details there. In future this database will be partially made available to others.
