OLD BOYS 

Old Boys Association

August is a busy month with four Senior classes holding their respective reunions this month. On the weekend of 1 and 2 August Old Boys from the Classes of 1996 and 2006 gathered for their respective reunions. The Classes of 1986 and 1976 will be gathering as this newsletter is being distributed for their respective reunions on 15 and 16August.  

I had the good fortune of showing just over 30 members of the Class of 1996 around the College on Saturday. For many of the attendees it was the first time they had returned to Saints after graduating. Looking through the display of College archives and copies of the 1996 Tolle Lege sparked many conversations and memories as the group walked around the college grounds.  

Mr Jon Sorensen was responsible for escorting his own classmates from the 2006 Senior class for their 20 year reunion. Following the tour of the College the group was joined by their College Principal, Br Michael Green, their Senior Head of Year, Mr Andrew Dorahy and former teacher Mr Terrence McDonough. I’m not sure what memories were being retold on their tour but members of this group could be heard laughing and cheering from across the college by the 1996 group as they made their way around the grounds. 

I would like to say thank you to the various individuals who helped coordinate these class reunions and tours of the College. Managing to get in contact with classmates and , in turn, have them travel as far as Bahrain, PNG and throughout Australia to return to Saints is no easy task.
