President’s Report August 2026
It has been another busy and enjoyable period for the St Andrew’s Old Collegians Association, with several events providing opportunities for alumni to reconnect and celebrate the St Andrew’s community.
Our annual Golf Day was once again a fantastic event, bringing together Old Collegians for a day of friendly competition, laughter, and connection. The Auckland Gathering also provided a great opportunity to catch up with alumni living further afield and to strengthen our connections beyond Canterbury.
We were also delighted to celebrate both the 50 Years On and 30 Years On Reunions. These milestone events are always a highlight, giving classmates the opportunity to reconnect, share memories, and revisit the College. It was fantastic to see such strong attendance and enthusiasm at both gatherings.
Thank you to everyone who has attended and supported our events throughout the year. The continued engagement of our Old Collegians is what makes this community so special, and I look forward to seeing many of you at future gatherings.
