Ante Basic, a final year student of 2014, recently became the 1200^th Old Paradian to connect with the Association's LinkedIn network.

Currently completing a BA in Anthropology at La Trobe University, Ante joined the online business platform, which is managed by OPA committeeman Phil Carter (1969).

“It’s important to stay connected with people and communities especially those like the OPA,” said Ante, pictured at the Vatican back in January.

“The potential benefits of being part of such a large alumni is to be kept in the loop with reunions or any developments at the school, and to have people to turn to should life hit you hard at any point.”

Old Paradians who haven’t yet done so are urged to join the Association’s LinkedIn and Facebook pages, and connect via www.oldparadians.com.au
