Last month the School held its annual 50+ Alumni reunion, for those who are 50 years out of School or longer. Events kicked off with a School tour of both campuses by bus on Friday 21 February before meeting again for lunch 2 days later on a sunny summer day with views over the marina on the River Derwent at the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania. This year we welcomed our newest cohort, the Class of 1974 into this group, while also honouring our most experienced alumni attending from the Class of 1949. The gathering was once again a great success, with 150 attendees from all over Australia coming to reconnect with old classmates, reminisce about their time at the Friends’ School and reflect on how those experiences have shaped their lives.
Thank you to everyone who attended our 50+ Friends’ Alumni Luncheon! We loved having you there and look forward to seeing you again next year. Enjoy these wonderful moments captured from both events!
