ALUMNI REUNIONS 2022

We’re back into the fullness of Alumni engagements. Brisbane and Perth reunions in August and November respectively covered off our state visits across Australia

We are hoping to build on these annual events in 2023 with not only a fun get together but with an experience! We are always open to suggestions, so please let us know if you have an idea or connection which would make for a good gathering.

Having spent time this year at the Henty Field Day and Harden Kite Festival, it was a pleasure as always to have Alumni come up and show their support. They’re always up for a good yarn and story, and they’re amazed by how much has changed back at School.

It was a treat to see our Brisbane Alumni members in person, especially as the last gathering was virtual due COVID-19 travel restrictions. We had a great turnout at the reunion held in August at the Port Office Hotel.

In November we had a wonderful reunion with our Alumni in Perth. The Island Brew House right on Elizabeth Quay was the perfect setting for an evening of networking and catching up with old friends.

Since the class of 2012 couldn’t attend the Alumni weekend in May, they were hosted back at the School in midNovember. The collective of 30 young men thoroughly enjoyed the day hosted by David Smart and Kerri Rock.

The final reunion for 2022 was from the one year out Class of 2021 held at Badger & Co at the ANU. A great turn out of more than 60 enjoyed an eventful catch up before venturing into Civic!

Vintage Club

The annual Vintage Club reunion saw a record number in attendance for those who were +50 years out. The day began with Chapel followed by a Senior School Assembly. We were honoured to hear from Professor Malcolm Gillies (CGS School Captain in 1972), who spoke at the assembly. Professor Gillies reflected upon his years at CGS and spoke of critical issues relating to climate change, inflation and being a positive force in the world we live in, well as how we can enable change for the better.

The assembly also included musical performances by the Senior School band and was followed by Lunch in the Dining Hall.
