Old Boys celebrating 95 years - 16 August 2025
Class of 2023
“Sir, do you think Saints will ever flood?”
I was asked this question by one of the boys after recent heavy rain combined with a high tide. Before L-Block was built, the lower classrooms of the old primary school building (later known as J-Block) were regularly flooded with the boarders often having to place sandbags at the classroom doors and lift objects off the floor and up onto desks.
My challenge to our current students is to ask an Old Boy if he can remember going to class in any of the buildings featured in the following photo.
Thank you to Old Boy Kerry O'Shaughnessy (Class of 1974) for permission to use images 1 and 2 below.
Can you identify this building?
To celebrate the 95th year of the College, the SAC Old Boys Association is holding a function at the Boardwalk Social on the Cairns Esplanade on Saturday 16 August from 6pm. A food and beverage package will be available from 6:30pm. Click on this link to book your ticket.
