Snippets from the Archives…

We receive many items of interest from Old Hymerians and former staff in the Development Office and thoroughly enjoy the memories and history that you share with us. Many of these items can now be found on our Digital Archive page on the Old Hymerian website www.oldhymerians.com

Thank you to those of you that have shared your photos in recent months. We are in the process of building a small museum area at the school and we will be delighted to share more with you about the opening and the contents soon. All donations of photos will be greatfully received.

Keepsakes from former teacher, Mr Sutton

Alex Sutton’s wife, Barbara, recently shared some of Mr Sutton’s keepsakes. He had kept every leaver’s card from his classes over the years, amongst a handful of other treasures below.

Reconnect?

Is there anyone you know that would like to reconnect with the school since leaving? Did you know you can search on the Old Hymerian website for former classmates?

The Hymers Garden Party has been a longstanding event at the school and a key item on the school events calendar. All of our alumni community are most welcome to join us on a (usually) sunny Saturday afternoon (24 June 2023) and see Hymers in its current day and enjoy a tour of the school

Have you kept your school calendar or exercise books?

Were you a student that has every school pocket calendar from your time here or did you lose it within the first week as many Old Hymerians tell us they did?

Who remembers the School Song?

It has been a pleasure to hear some of our gentlemen singing the song with great joy at recent lunches whilst Lester Bartlett, Music teacher accompanies on the piano.
