Not far from our alma mater, the Breede River Alumni Hub, was launched in October 2020. A group of willing alumni saw the value and potential in bringing Maties from Tulbagh to McGregor together. We acknowledge that this picturesque valley is home to Maties working in a number of different industries with diverse interests and ambitions and hope to, as we collaborate, be a catalyst for a growing number of Maties to get involved.

This Hub aims to organise four flagship events per year and is willing to help facilitate other initiatives and ideas as Maties discover and rediscover collaborating opportunities. These could include social receptions, guest lectures, networking opportunities and fundraisers.

Sporting events, for example golf days, bowls business league, mountain biking and trail running are also on the priority list, as these will be excellent events to show that the alumni are present in the community. We aim to be visible in the community and hopefully inspire the pupils of the community to come and study at Maties.

The Hub covers a big region and therefore, the opportunities to connect are ample. The Hub is led by Tarina Nel.
