50-Year School Reunion

Catching up with old school friends? How about catching up 50 years later? That's exactly what the ex-students from Marist Brothers and St Francis Xavier Convent High School did.
Meeting at Hotel Brandon, around 42 individuals (pictured below), gathered to celebrate 50 years since they left school in 1974. Many of the alumni travelled a great distance to join the reunion, with some even travelling all the way from New South Wales.
Attendees expressed how the evening was an extremely enjoyable and nostalgic occasion that was full of laughter and stories new and old.
The evening commenced with a school bell, and the individuals also had a remembrance call and minute of silence to remember those who had passed. The classmates were also surprised by a visit from their old schoolteacher Mrs. Freshwater.
School is out until the next reunion.
