Founders’ Day celebrations

A PERFECT DAY

Blessing the Chapel banners On Saturday 5 November the Diocesan alumnae graced the campus for our annual Founders’ Day. The day began with visits to the archives and our Senior Old Girls’ High Tea. This was a particularly special occasion as our new house banners were revealed and presented by the house leaders.

Attendees then gathered for the chapel service led by Rev Sandy Robertson. The banners were blessed before our alumnae moved into the Arts Centre theatre for the AGM.

This AGM was significant as it saw us formally change our constitution and name to the Auckland Diocesan School Alumnae Association – ensuring we keep our traditions in place but also move forward with the times.

Finally, we wrapped up the day with a buzzing cocktail party in the Arts Centre foyer where many hugs were shared and connections made. It really was a perfect day!
