Overview

The Michaelhouse Old Boys’ Club is part of the Michaelhouse Community. We are governed by our Constitution and the Club for Life vision, and we support the school’s Generational Plan 2046, which affirms that Michaelhouse will remain a globally recognised, termly boarding school for boys, preserving and living by Christian values and the Michaelhouse Way.

Most notably, the Michaelhouse Way is grounded in a code of commitments: Integrity, Humility, Compassion, Courage, and Service.

The Old Boys’ Club welcomes members of every background, nationality, race, creed, and orientation, reflecting the Christian value of human dignity that is the foundation of the school itself.

Membership carries an expectation: that you conduct yourself according to the Michaelhouse Way. We hold all Old Boys to the same standard and do not practise activism that raises one constituency above another. Instead, we are bound by Humility and Compassion, which require us to integrate everyone into our community and understand the perspectives of others. Every Old Boy has equal standing; none has privileged voice by virtue of identity.

Purpose

The Michaelhouse Old Boys’ Club has a significant online presence which is critical to engagement and remaining in each other’s lives.

It is important that we abide by a set of values & rules that upholds our Constitution and our Club for Life vision.
