10 reunion Years On

Class of 2007–2011

On Thursday 11 November, the College welcomed back a group of 67 Year 13 leavers from 2011. This group had endured a tough final year at the College due to the February 2011 earthquake which not only caused major damage across Canterbury, but also severely impacted the usual routines at the College. However, this was a very resilient year group, and during Rector Christine Leighton’s address in the Centennial Chapel, prior to the cocktail function, she reflected on the parallels the current Year 13 students of 2021 have faced due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was their first time in the Centennial Chapel for most of the group, and many commented on what a beautiful space it was. They moved on to a wonderful cocktail function in Strowan House, where the guests reunited and reminisced. A particular highlight was the Earthquake Exhibition in Strowan House, which brought back many memories for the returnees, marking a hugely significant year in their lives they will never forget.

Peter Goodman (1965) kindly organised a get together of Old Collegians in London earlier this year and is hoping to organise another catch up in the summer. The small group who enjoyed the evening were (from left) Andrew Sharp (1958), the College’s first girl, Elizabeth Dumergue (1992), Peter Goodman (1965), Alex Bond (2010) and Sam Williams (2014).
