Last month saw the celebration of our annual 50+ Alumni reunion, for those that are 50 years out of School or longer. This year we were at new premises, enjoying the views and space from The Ricky Ponting Room at Ninja Stadium, over the sports ground and River Derwent on a very warm and windy day. We welcomed our latest cohort the Class of 1975 to the group, while also honouring our most experienced alumni attending from the Class of 1947. Once again, the gathering was a tremendous success, with 150 people travelling from all corners of Australia to reconnect with old friends, revisit memories and consider how those formative years continue to shape who they are today.
A big thank you to everyone who joined us for our 50+ Friends’ Alumni Luncheon — it was a truly wonderful occasion. We look forward to welcoming you back again next year. Until then, enjoy these lovely moments captured from the day.
