Let me start by giving Clive a big thanks for the work he has done. A big thanks goes out to Malvern, Edmund and Thomas Date for keeping up to their promises. Now that we have a place to meet and chat, it has come as a no surprise that another site is operational in the name of
www.kutamaoldboys.org
All this goes on to show how we cherish our dear school. The question now is, can we be seen to be competing with dear brother for the same goal. I guess not. I believe we should harness our efforts and resources to an amalgamated cause ie Kutama. In all that we do Kutama College is central to our beliefs and hence we should be united in our endeavours for the school.
In light of all this, I therefore propose an amalgamated site that shall:
• Show our vision as old students (with a measurable goal) i.e. what we aim to be in whatever period etc
• Reflect on students currently at Kutama
• Reflect on former students in Zimbabwe
• Reflect on former students in the Diaspora
It is my wish that the above shall form the core basis of our amalgamated site. Each point when expanded shall therefore encompass everyone in different categories as they fit. By this I mean:
Home Page
• As is on the other web site we draft a vision statement that is agreed upon by the majority
• Get rid of the ‘UK CHAPTER’ as is on our site
News and Events
This main menu to have sub-menus (e.g. dropdown menus) that would distinguish the geographical locations of ‘former students’. I feel this is were pages like ‘UK CHAPTER’,’ZIMBABWE CHAPTER’,’USA CHAPTER’ etc depending on size and contributions coming from those ends. Within these chapters, some further divisions can be added wherever possible. Whatever comes from these chapters should be relayed through the webmaster.
The news part of site would be to do with donations, how the school is doing and any other projects people might come up with.
Currently at Kutama
Borrowing from the other site, this should be part of a main menu with submenus that would reflect on the academic and extra curriculum activities and achievements etc.
One Global Album
For obvious reasons
One Global Forum
For obvious reasons but with ease of navigation.
This is not exhaustive. It is only a proposal open to discussion.
