Reunions
5 Year Reunion 2018
50 Year Reunion
Class of 1968
Even though there was only a small
number to celebrate the 50 Year Reunion
in February, there was real warmth in
the room and everyone was excited to
reconnect with their past classmates.
We were lucky to have current School
Leaders Aidan McShane and Harrison
Broughton conduct a School tour. A real
highlight was visiting our current ELC
building as it used to be the family home
of Victoria Swann, one of our Kilvonians
who was there on the night!
The class of 1968 is very keen to grow
the numbers for their reunions and reach
out to others from their peer group.
Please contact Community Relations
Officer Deb Duce at duced@kilvington.
vic.edu.au and we will be pleased to put
you in touch with your past classmates.
Walsh Club
50 Years Plus
Our Walsh Club reunion saw us revisit
Café Vic at the Melbourne Arts Centre in
early March. We welcomed some familiar
faces and a few new members from our
1967 peer group. It’s always a pleasure
to chat and reminisce with this fabulous
group of women. We particularly enjoyed
the company of our Deputy Principal,
Davina McClure, who joined us on this occasion.
5 and 10 Year Reunion
For our 5 and 10-year reunion we gathered at The Hotel Brighton for drinks and nibbles. This was quite an occasion as it marked the first reunion to have a Kilvington boy attend.
Alex Parker was the first boy to finish his VCE at Kilvington and the only boy in the 2013 cohort. Everyone was thrilled to see Mr Les Clement who made the effort to come along and see his past students. Thanks Les!
40 and 45 Year Reunion
Class of
At the end of April, a small group of very
lively ladies from our 1978 peer year
gathered to connect and catch up on all
the news since graduating from Kilvington
40 years ago.
Our former students were very
interested in our progress to a co-ed
school, and it was delightful to hear
their stories and see photos from their
school days – none of them had changed
a bit! We were able to interrupt their
enthusiastic reminiscing for a School tour,
taken by three of our School leaders.
As they said their goodbyes, they were
already planning their 45-year reunion!
30 and 35 Year Reunion
Winter was upon us but that didn’t stop
over 30 Kilvonians from peer years 1983
and 1988 coming out in the cold to catch
up here at the School.
Memories of underwear and dress
length checks had everyone in stitches.
Dalton Hall came alive to the score from
Oklahoma. It was such fun to witness their
fabulous voices and obvious enjoyment.
The 1988 cohort remembered all their
lines and the songs from the musical
production. It was also very special to
have Marlene Hoff (nee Burk) and Kenia Krauer from the 1983 peer group there on the night as they both attended Kilvington from Prep
to Year 12.
‘I had an absolutely
fantastic evening. It was
so wonderful to catch up
with my old school friends
from 35 years ago. The
memories we shared
were so vivid, had us all
laughing, or gasping or
going into great detail
about who said what, or
why, or how.’
We are looking forward to hosting the
20 and 25 Year reunion for our 1993 and
1998 peer groups on 10 August this year.
In November, we will once again hold our
annual all-peer Alumni event, Kilvonian
Konnections. Further details on the events page.
