Old Launcestonians and the OLA Committee have lots to be proud of.

Over the last four to five years we have been in the fortunate position to fully fund or make significant financial contributions to the many initiatives a school like ours seeks to deliver.

The Fun and Food Festival in Term 1 is just one of the successful initiatives on our fundraising calendar. Whilst the primary purpose of the festival is to provide an opportunity for families new and old to reconnect, it is also wonderful, through the generous donations of time, produce and support, that the OLA can raise money. The support and patronage from the broader School community for this event is amazing.

I again take this opportunity to thank the members of the OLA Committee and the School community for your ongoing participation and support of the OLA.

Simon Wood, OLA President

The School has changed dramatically from when I attended Broadland House during the 1950s and 60s.

The opportunity and encouragement students now have to chase and build their dreams and indulge in their passions with enthusiasm is enormous. I invite our current students to have the courage, imagination and sense of adventure to open doors and look beyond so that you can further your knowledge, as well as participate and excel in your chosen field.

Be passionately curious and do not be afraid to look behind the doors to find the amazing opportunities that can be found. Never give up no matter how many obstacles you meet on your way; be inspired to keep following your dreams. Failure is not final; it is the courage to continue that counts. Daunting though it may be, courageously facing the unknown can lead to greater personal development and satisfaction.

Rosemary Stobart, BHOGA President
