The Old Collegians’ Association kicked off its first Class Reunion of the year last weekend with the Class of 1985 40-Year Reunion.
We welcomed back nearly 50 classmates and partners to the Old Collegians’ Pavilion, overlooking the Main Oval.
The group enjoyed a tour of the College’s buildings and grounds and were fascinated by the history and growth of the College in the 40 years since they were students at SPC.
College Captain Chris Nolan and his mum Mary were late apologies due to the extreme weather conditions, and they were missed immensely on the night.
However they were able to share in the kinship of the night when classmate and good friend Craig Sharp met Chris and Mary the following day in Melbourne and took them plenty of photos and videos from the evening, including a rousing rendition of the College War Cry.
It was wonderful to also welcome back Vice Captain from the Class of 1985, Richard Reilly, and some members who were attending the Class Reunion for the first time.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to attend their 40-Year Reunion and rekindle friendships from nearly half a decade ago.
A special shoutout to Stephen Dixon, who travelled from Japan for the reunion, and Joe Hurst, who flew in from Bali, complete with his original Class of 1985 school jumper.
Thank you also to Sean Murphy and Michael Edmonds for bringing along original school booklets and mementos from their time at SPC – all in mint condition. A fascinating read down memory lane.
