Reunions
30 Year Reunion (Class of 1991)
The inclement weather did little to dampen the spirits of the Class of 1991 who gathered at the Chapel on Saturday 18 September to begin their 30 Year Reunion celebrations. Full of smiles, the group began their school tour and were interested to see all the changes that have occurred over 30 years. The afternoon was a wonderful opportunity for those who could attend to reconnect, and the festivities continued into the late hours of the night at the Subiaco Hotel.
40 Year Reunion (Class of 1981)
It was great to see so many from the Class of 1981 return to PLC for the first stage of their reunion, and for some it was 40 years since returning to PLC. Following the tour and class photo, it was off to the Cottesloe Golf Club to continue the celebrations amongst all things PLC, including uniform memorabilia and a lot of tartan.
50 Year Reunion (Class of 1971)
This year, the 50 Year Reunion took place on Friday 22 October to coincide with PLC Open Garden Day. To celebrate this milestone reunion event, the Class of 1971 participated in a school tour, including a viewing of the amazing work for the Creative Arts and Technologies Exhibition. A lovely morning tea followed in the PLC Lighthouse before many took up the option to experience all the splendour and excitement of the 2021 PLC Open Garden Day.
Sixty years ago, the Class of 1961 completed their schooling at PLC, and to celebrate this significant milestone, a group of 30 from this cohort come back to PLC to catch up, reminisce, and hear from the Principal, Cate Begbie, on all the changes since leaving school. Warm conversations of school days and shared experiences continued at a lovely sundowner hosted by Rosalind Lilley.
60 Year Reunion (Class of 1961)
65 Year Reunion (Class of 1956)
70 Year Reunion (Class of 1951)
On Friday 13 August, the Class of 1951 gathered by the steps of Carmichael Hall for the obligatory class photo followed by a high tea luncheon in the Boardroom at Scorgie House where they reminisced about the good old days at school. A visit from Deputy Principal, Mr Neil Walker was welcomed and following lunch the group strolled through the school to experience the workings of the college in 2021. The 65 Year Reunion was held in conjunction with the PLC Founders’ Day Service and Luncheon on Tuesday 17 August and by all accounts it was a lovely opportunity to catch up with old friends, share memories and reconnect with the School.
