this is is a private school enterprise trying keep a leash on their high school graduates
why do they need to keep a leash on them?
well would the high school be at ease if the sacred heart high school footballers, went to play for henley after graduating?
My experience is that the schools wish to have strong Old Scholar interest in their schools because it keeps a link with the place and provides opportunities for both the school and the former student into the future.
However, I don't think they particularly care whether the clubs retain all of their former students, and they certainly don't aim to "keep them on a leash" and hope they don't go elsewhere.
