Archives TRINITY HOSTS REUNION OF OLD BOYS FROM ST PATRICK’S BOYS’ SCHOOL In early October Trinity College had the great pleasure of hosting a reunion of Old Boys from St Patrick’s Boys’ School (St Pat’s) which had been located in Wellington Street, Perth. Also at this reunion were some Old Boys who had been at both St Pat’s and CBC Perth as both schools had been run in conjunction with each other by the Christian Brothers. All these past students were from the classes of the 1940s. This special gathering was organised by Old Boy, Mr Dan Carney, with the help of Mr Bill Staude, Mr Gerry Lambe and Mr Terry Gaunt. It was an exciting and happy morning as most of these Old Boys had not seen each other for many years. The reunion began with Mass in the College Chapel with Mr Carney playing the hymns chosen for the reunion Mass on his violin. Following Mass some of the Old Boys gathered around the St Patrick’s Celtic Cross which is now at home in the front driveway of Trinity College. Everyone then made their way up to the staff room where they were warmly welcomed by Mr Carney. Speeches were made and past days re-lived and many friendships renewed over morning tea. It was a happy, joyful occasion for all. To make the morning more special Mr Carney donated to Trinity College a framed original photograph of the St Patrick’s Boys’ School 1946 Junior Swimming Champions who competed in the Christian Brothers’ Schools Sporting Association.
