Page 6 - OM Newsletter 2024-2025

DWear Old Malvernians and Ellerslie Old Girls,
elcome to the 48th OM Newsletter. It has been another action-packed year for our community and this issue is
bursting with stories of your amazing achievements, from running marathons for ‘fun’ and at the Olympics, to receiving MBEs and OBEs, and so much more. I hope you enjoy reading about the inspiring feats of your fellows and remember to keep us updated with your own news in the year
to come.
At the Malvernian Society our core mission is to keep you connected - with Malvern College and with one other. Over the past few years, we have modernised our digital communications and the response has been fantastic. Between 2023 and 2024 our Instagram and Facebook ‘reach’ (the number of different people who saw a post or story) increased by 200% and ‘interactions’ (likes, comments, shares, clicks) doubled – proof, if needed, of an insatiable appetite for news from the College and our alumni community.
In November 2024, we launched the Malvernian Society’s vibrant new website - one of a suite of refreshed websites for Malvern College and The Downs Malvern - all unified under the theme of ‘Role Models’. While academic excellence remains essential, a Malvern education is about much more, and the focus on Role Models shines a light on the co-curricular and super-curricular achievements that shape well-rounded pupils, giving them the confidence to lead and excel in today’s world.
Special thanks go to Lou Ciaravella in the Malvernian Society and the Malvern College Marketing Team for bringing this exciting vision to life. Thank you also to Lou for so expertly compiling and editing this latest edition of the OM Newsletter. There are links throughout so you can read even more online.
Do make sure you follow us on social media and visit our website to stay up to date with news, events, club sports results, community contacts and obituaries.
On the subject of connection, if you are on LinkedIn, please search for ‘Malvernian Society’ and join over a thousand other OMs who are ready to network for business.
Finally, back in the ‘real world’, it has been a busy year for events too: we have welcomed 2,000 OMs and EOGs to gatherings in Malvern, the UK and overseas. A warm thank you to Abbie Elliston for managing a packed calendar of events whilst also looking after the OM clubs.
Please stay in touch – we love to hear from you. Best wishes,
Suzy Leeke
Head of Engagement
