30 Years On (Class of 1995⁠–1999)

On Friday, 13 June, we were delighted to welcome more than 80 Old Collegians and their partners from the Class of 1995–1999 for their first reunion back at the College. Guests travelled from across the globe, including Canada, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Australia, to reconnect and celebrate this milestone. There were so many, we couldn't do the obligatory photo on the stairs!

A campus tour gave attendees the chance to see how the College has evolved. Many were impressed by the state-of-the-art facilities now available to students, particularly the Gough Family Theatre and the Fitness Centre.

The evening’s Cocktail Party, MC'd by Andy Kelmand and Richard North was made even more special by the presence of both former and current staff members. Among the familiar faces were Barry Maister, who began his tenure as Rector in 1995, along with Laraine Sharr, Wayne Milligan, Dianne Macdonald, Mike Woodlock, Joe Leota, Hamish Faulls, Sarah Long, and John Hamilton.

The reunion was a heartfelt occasion that offered a chance to rekindle friendships that began three decades ago. The evening was a resounding success, with celebrations reportedly continuing well into the early hours of the morning.
