Classes of 1965 and 1966
Time has flown past for the Classes of 1965 and 1966, who returned to their old school for a weekend lunch time catch-up in the College Staffroom.
More than 30 Old Boys were treated to a tour of the campus and were immersed in memories as they stood in their old Year 8 classroom, which is now Room 003.
Br Marshall in 1965 and Br St John in 1966 were Headmasters back in that era, and needless to say the grounds looked vastly different, with tennis courts where the Cloisters now stand. Apart from the three heritage buildings, the old hall, the Brothers' residence and the original classrooms, there were two other buildings that have since been removed, one where the Science block now stands, and the other situated on the site of Student Services.
The Old Boys had fond memories of the Brothers' teaching skills and disciplinary tactics, with more than one recounting the time that a desk was thrown over the second balcony of the old classrooms as an example of how easy it was to toss objects of a similar size to a disobedient boy.
The reunion was organised by Phillip Taranto (1966) and Frank Legena (1965).
