The Sheares Hall Alumni Club (SHAC) is an independent, alumni-run club for everyone who has lived in Sheares Hall & Dunearn Road Hostels, from 1952 to today. Launching September 2026 at the Founding Dinner.
Free in Year 1, two minutes to register: your name, your years in hall, the chapters you want. Members on the register before the Founding Dinner form the founding cohort.
Dare to Reach the Highest.

Right now, staying in touch with Sheares means having a few group chats that slowly fade. There is no shared home, no way to come back for a game and no easy path to meet the people who lived the same Sheares experience as you.
Sheares, with a lineage back to the Dunearn Road Hostels in 1952, has had no form of unified alumni association.
The SHAC gives you a structured way to stay connected: a cross-batch network, and a way to stay close to the community you helped build. Open to every batch since 1952.
Join a chapter, an alumni-run group for whatever drew you in: a sport, a performing art, music or volunteering. Never played pickleball? Now's the time.
A Sheares professional network: mentorship across batches and reunions with people who already know you.
Stay close to how the hall is changing and what the current batches are up to.
Free to join. The chapters, the Sheares network, and a founding place on the record.
The SHAC works on a hub-and-spoke model: the SHAC is the hub, and chapters are the spokes. A chapter is a group of alumni who keep doing something Sheares does together — a sport, a supper table, a performing art, volunteering. Each runs its own sessions; the SHAC carries the admin, finance and comms behind every one, and is working toward OAR recognition. Founding chapters open based on member interest.
What’s on at SHAC. Every open event lands on the events page first, with dates and sign-ups.
The first year holds the Founding Dinner, chapter sessions, an Alumni Cup, cross batch socials and a career night.
The SHAC is alumni-run, with a lean five-person board.
Two seats remain open. Membership alone is plenty. If a seat calls to you, write to Isaac at isaac@sheares.sg or on Telegram.
If you lived in Sheares Hall (or its predecessor, the Dunearn Road Hostels) as an NUS student, you’re a Shearite. Every batch since 1952 counts.
Graduated in the eighties, nineties or before? You’re welcome too, and the first year’s calendar includes cohort reunions, with batch representatives to convene them.
Final-year residents, you’re the next alumni. You’re welcome too.
The founding register is open. Register before the Founding Dinner and you are part of the founding cohort.
