Class of 1980 reunites for 40-Year Reunion
June 15, 2022
We welcomed back our Class of 1980 for their long-awaited 40-Year Reunion after several postponements due to the COVID pandemic over the last two years.
The men enjoyed a tour of the College expansive grounds and buildings – including many new facilities since their school days – as well as enjoying the opportunity to reconnect with many they have not seen for many years.
Many of the group shared their stories, some moving and others entertaining, during the afternoon when the microphone was shared around the group.
We thank those in the Class of 1980 for joining us on Sunday, 5 June and look forward to seeing you again in only eight years’ time!
Here are some photos from this great day out, enjoy.
