Presidents’ Dinner 2024

The St Andrew’s College Old Boys Association welcomed its first president in 1920. William Johnston, a Senior Master at the College from 1917 to 1919, had an esteemed reputation among the students which led the first Old Boys to elect him as the inaugural president of the association. Shortly after St Andrew’s became co-educational in 1992, the name was changed to Old Collegians Association.

Our current president, Sam Crosbie (OC 2009), is the 70th to hold the position of President and he is set to pass on his responsibilities at our Annual General Meeting on Wednesday 14 August.

The Presidents’ Dinner is a biannual gathering of past and current OCA presidents, and, on Friday night, we held a wonderful event for 20 presidents from between 1968 to 2024. We were also joined by past Board Chair, Garry Moore, and Current Board Chair, Felicity Odlin. Neil Thomson (OC 1957) expressed his gratitude to Patron Christine Leighton for her dedicated service to the OCA for her 17-year tenure.
