The portal needs a minimum profile information to create your login account, beyond this information it is up to you to share additional information to the degree you feel comfortable with. Accuracy in information helps grow our Stanislite network.

Your user-id can be any id that is unique to the portal, we suggest you use [firstname][lastname][batchyear]. We hope to offer a life-time e-mail address of the format [user-id]@stanislites.org (for eg james.bond1977@stanislites.org)

The approval of membership to class batches is delegated to "class monitors". An approval email is automatically sent to the "class monitor" when a Stanislite requests subscription to the class.

Typically, approval involves a click of the "Approve" link embedded in the email. This will automatically approve membership only if you are already logged in. If you are using your own computer (and not a shared computer at an Internet cafe) we recommend you do not log out from the portal. The portal remembers your previous login and automatically logs you in when you re-visit the portal.

If you are not logged in, when attempting approval, you will get an "Access Denied" message. Log in to the portal and retry the "Approve" link.

Use the "Deny" link to refuse membership, if there is reason to believe the request is made by an internet robot or is otherwise bogus.

If you would like to check the status of the approval; Visit the "classroom" (Locate the class in the "My groups" section on the left). Once in the "classroom", use the "xxx subscribers" menu item on the left to get the number of members and their status.

Note: Site admin needs to first approve request to the site before class admin can approve request to the class.

The batch-site administrator (class-monitor) is appointed by the Membership manager in the Managing Committee. This can be based on first-come first-served basis. However, there should be at least 3 class monitors who can share the responsibility to moderate the group.

The key task of a “class monitor” is to approve (or deny) approval requests for membership to the batch-site.

A network of alumni from a given city -> country -> region regardless of batch year. This mechanism is aimed at helping overseas Stanislites to network in their local region. This mechanism will be activated at a later stage, after assessing Stanislite populations by region

A class batch is a group of ex-students graduating SSC or HSC at a given year (called "batch year"). Students leaving before graduation should be placed in the batch year they would have graduated if they had continued studies at the school.

A group is a general term for a collection of 2 or more people within the alumni community. 4 types of groups are identified

(1) class-batch

(2) geographical group/chapter

(3) project team

(4) administration group. Each group has it's own "area" and each group is moderated by a "group manager".

The portal can be broadly divided into three main areas:-

(1) content/history section, containing historical information about the various aspects of the St. Stanislaus Ex-Students Association.

(2) discussion forum and blogging section, offering a means for registered users to post topics for discussion or to express their opinions in the form of blogs

(3) administration section (used for managing user profiles, memberships etc. This is largely for administrative use of the portal team and managing committee. However, to allow for self-service certain portions of the portal allow users to update their profile information.

Any student past or present can sign up. Any member of staff – past or present can sign up

The Managing Committee of the Alumni Organization is responsible for the site, with the president as publisher. The technical administrator is the webmaster appointed by the Managing Committee. The legal administrator is the Hon Secretary of the Managing Committee.
