Old Haberdashers

When Habs students move on to university, careers or wherever life takes them, they soon realise that while they may have left Elstree, they never truly leave Habs.

Alumni of Habs Boys and Habs Girls are known as ‘Old Haberdashers’, and the bonds they formed as students last a lifetime. It is not unusual to have Old Haberdashers come back for a 50 year reunion in the company of a close friend made in class, or with a spouse they met on the school coach.

Old Haberdashers are also part of a wide network of fellow alumni of all ages and from all walks of life with whom they form an instant connection. Many Old Haberdashers find mentors, future colleagues and friends through the Old Haberdasher network.

Many also give back to their old school, and not just philanthropically. Old Haberdashers return to Habs to give career talks, conduct mock university interviews, offer work placements and much more.
