OLD COLLEGIANS’
ASSOCIATION
The focus and mission of the OCA is to foster a community for life. We achieve this by providing opportunities for Old Collegians to connect and network with each other. While many annual events like the International Womens’ Day Breakfast, the Easter Service and Old Collegians’ Luncheon and the Year 12 Career Networking Breakfast have not been able to go ahead or have been postponed due to COVID-19 restrictions, we look forward to welcoming Old Collegians to our events in the near future.
Welcome Afternoon Tea
Tartan Lawyers’ Breakfast
We are thrilled to see our Old Collegians return to PLC as parents and grandparents. In late January, we had the pleasure of welcoming 15 Old Collegian families and their daughters who have just started their PLC journey at our annual OCA Welcome Day Afternoon Tea.
Giving our Old Collegians opportunities to stay in contact and continue to learn from each other long after they have left school remains at the heart of what the OCA does. It was wonderful to see such a broad age range of 50 PLC and Scotch Old Collegians and current students attend our Tartan Lawyers’ Networking Breakfast on Thursday 17 February. Thanks to Barrister, Jenny Thornton (1977), and recently retired Federal Court Judge, the Hon Neil McKerracher
