President’s Report August 2025

The past few months has been a busy period for our alumni community.

On Wednesday 18 June, more than 60 Old Collegians gathered at the Northern Club in Auckland for an enjoyable evening of conversation and connection. Attendees spanned leavers from 1949 through to 2023, illustrating the strength of our network across the generations. My thanks go to Michael Wood (1966) for securing the venue, and to Alumni Manager, Lisa Clark, for her impeccable organisation of the event.

Back on campus, the annual 1st XV Rugby Reunion was held on Saturday 17 May. Former players and coaches from the 1955–2015 teams met in the Sports Pavilion before cheering the current 1st XV to a well-earned victory.

It has been a pleasure to welcome Rector Mark Wilson and his wife, Judi, to their first rounds of Old Collegian events. Mark’s genuine interest in our community is already evident, and we look forward to working with him in the months and years ahead.

Looking ahead, there are several key dates for your diary – the Old Collegians Annual Dinner on Friday 8 August; the Gentlemen’s Luncheon on Friday, 10 October (incorporating the 65, 70, 75 and 80 Years On Reunions); and a debut event called Collegians and Cocktails on Saturday 8 November, at which we look forward to connecting with a younger cohort of Old Collegians.

These events are valuable opportunities to engage with the College, reconnect with old friends, and expand your network.

I look forward to seeing many of you over the coming months.

President, Old Collegians Association
