Bucky's Beach Relay Quiz Night | Save the Date | Friday 19 June 2026

We invite parents to save the date for the Bucky’s Beach Relay Quiz Night, to be held at the College on Friday 19 June. This important fundraiser supports our dear Old Scholar and past staff member Lydia Baccanello, along with her family and friends, as they undertake a relay from Adelaide to Elliston in memory of Lydia’s late brother, Simon ‘Bucky’ Baccanello. The initiative aims to raise funds to build a community sporting facility for young people in Elliston, creating a safe and positive space for health, wellbeing and connection. It promises to be a fun and lively evening, with our own Mandy Braddock as Quiz Master, so start planning your tables and get ready to join in! Tickets on sale now!

We’re excited about these opportunities to connect as a community and hope to see many of you there!
