Reunions and events

Our Old Grammarians are invited to attend our school events such as gatherings, performances, career and sporting events, and other events held throughout the year.

We extend a warm welcome for you to attend your peer year reunions – we hold two-year and five-year reunions, a Gala Reunion (10, 20, 30 & 40 years), and our 50 + Luncheon. Reunions are a great opportunity to reconnect, reminisce and enjoy the company of old friends.

It is our aim to involve as many of your peer year (the year you completed/would have completed year 12) as possible, including those who may have left at other times but identify best with this year group.

To ensure you receive invitations to relevant events, please update your contact details via our alumni update your details form.
