International Representative Role:

• To be point of contact in their country for other ODs, both residents and visitors (on business or for leisure)

• To relay information to the OD Office about ODs in their country and to enable increased cultural understanding for the DCF representatives

• To suggest ideas to be incorporated into OD Committee thinking and strategy

• To have an annual video call with the OD Office to be apprised of DCF plans to disseminate to OD residents within your designated area

• To consider hosting reunions both with Senior Leaders visiting from DCF but also for local ODs and to keep the School informed with a write-up, photos, and other news


If you would like to contact any of the representatives, please liaise with the Old Decanian Office – ods@deanclose.org.uk

We are actively trying to increase the number of International Representatives. If you think you could be a country representative, we would love to hear from you.

Flecker

We Want to Hear from You! 

We are excited to announce that we are gathering content for this year's Flecker 10 magazine and we would love to include your contributions. 

If you have any news articles, photos, updates about current school news, or obituaries, please send your articles to Leah Barton - Lobarton@deanclose.org.uk 

The Flecker magazine is published around Christmas time, currently we post to all ODs over the age of 50 who live in the UK.  Any Old Decanian or Former Member of Staff may request a copy by emailing Leah Barton at lobarton@deanclose.org.uk and we will post one to you free of charge.

The Society was formed to enable Old Decanians to keep in touch with each other through the Close Community and continue to be a part of the school - even after their educational journey has come to an end.  
Our Close Community provides social opportunities for former pupils to reunite and reminisce about the good old days as well as supporting current pupils with their future career paths.
