OUR EAST COAST CONNECTIONS In a world where we have had to adapt to lockdowns, face masks, cancelled events and social distancing, it has meant that those face-to-face meetings, when they do happen, are even more vital. This was evident at our East Coast Reunions held in May. Unfortunately, our planned Melbourne Reunion did succumb to one of these new realities. However, we were still able to visit our alumnae in Canberra and Sydney. There was an amazing vibe at both events, as Old Girls caught up with former classmates and made new friends. It was such a heart-warming sight to see these connections taking place.
