The Class of 1975 celebrates 50 years!
On Sunday 19 October, 25 former students celebrated their 50 year reunion, and for some 4th Form leavers, their 52 year reunion. The afternoon was spent reconnecting, reminiscing and catching up on our lives during the past half century!
We were honoured by the presence of our teaching nuns, Sisters Gabriel, Leone, Mary, Colleen and Noelene. Unfortunately, our principal, Sister Kathleen was unwell and unable to join us. Our School Captain, Kim nee Hanley and Vice Captain, Christine nee Ellis were also there. Kim put together a slideshow of old photos which was wonderful to watch and laugh together.
We were all left with the strong impression that as a result of strong bonds formed at school, the long passage of years melt away very quickly and we easily and familiarly reconnect.
The other very strong impression was, that as mature women now, we are able to regard those formidable nuns of our younger years with the deepest admiration. We can look back and clearly see the strength, guidance and care they showed us and the good values that they instilled in us when they were very young women themselves. A few times it was said last Sunday, “How lucky were we?”
