Many of you will be on the threshold of your careers. Do you remember our school motto, “Attitude Determines Altitude”?

Those three words sum up the Business and Enterprise ethos of the Platanos Academies, especially Platanos College.

One of the most important aspects of enterprise, that is, setting up your own business or participating in a larger company, is networking. That means connecting with others.
Being part of Platanos Alumni Connections gives you the perfect opportunity to connect, re-connect or meet the right people as your career develops.

Giving

When you make a donation to Platanos Alumni, you really do make a difference. You help pupils to fulfil their potential, whatever Life throws at them. You are helping young people now who will be tackling pressing global problems in just a few years themselves, using their skills as team members and leaders.

With your help, pupils can take part in Clubs and activities which they otherwise would not be able to enjoy. Please remember that you can give as little as £1 per month. You will enable pupils to acquire experiences and develop skills that will stay with them forever.
