Reunions

At the Class of 2010 10-Year Reunion

In the first half of the year, we were most fortunate to proceed with the Year Level Reunion program, not only for those scheduled in 2021 but those postponed in 2020. We introduced a different format to the evenings with a stand-up cocktail event (for the one, five, 10, 20, and 30-year reunions), giving those in attendance more opportunity to connect with others. We are grateful to everyone who was able to attend. We are especially appreciative of staff member Rohan Brown who came to each reunion and kindly provided archival memorabilia and updates.

2010 10-Year Reunion

The 10‑Year Reunion for the Class of 2010, a 2020 casualty of COVID-19, was finally held in April. The timing was perfect, allowing some attendees to travel from interstate. Thank you to all present, especially those who came from afar. On the night, we were joined by approximately 70 of the Class of 2010 and current and former staff. Our special thanks go to Simon Le Plastrier, Head of the Senior School and Deputy Headmaster in 2010. Simon shared some special memories with us. Thanks also to Rohan Barmanray, 2010 School Captain, who travelled from Sydney and provided a thoughtful reflection.

2011 10-Year Reunion

The Class of 2011 gathered for their 10‑Year Reunion at the end of April. Just over 60 OTGs and staff were in attendance – many thanks to those who travelled to Kew for this event. Ed Plant, 2011 School Captain, who had travelled from Darwin, spoke to the group. Current staff members, Blake Meadows, John Cavanagh and Rohan Brown, shared their reflections and wise words. Our thanks also go to Simon Le Plastrier and then Headmaster Rick Tudor for joining us on the night.

At the Class of 2000 20-Year Reunion

2000 20-Year Reunion

In May, the Class of 2000 returned to Trinity. On the night, memories were recalled such as the first ever soccer premiership (along with the subsequent founding of the OTGA Soccer Club) and the obsession with Y2K and the new millennium.

School Captain in 2000, Ruban Ambikaipalan, who had recently returned to Australia from the UK, spoke about the inclusive culture of the year level. Ruban was the first School Captain appointed by Rick Tudor, so it was most pertinent for Rick to provide his reflections and fond memories.

Thanks to all who were able to attend, especially those who travelled from interstate and former members of staff, Bob Hillman, Sue Clarke, Doris Nigro and John Visentin, who were also in attendance

2001 20-Year Reunion

The Class of 2001 had their 20‑Year Reunion in May, when we welcomed back approximately 50 OTGs, along with staff who were able to join us on the night. Chris Amiconi (2001 School Captain) recalled some special memories and friendships, while Bob Hillman (former Head of Year 12) reflected on the year level and some of the characters and characteristics which made it memorable. Ironically, Chris is now Head of Year 12 at Trinity! It was wonderful that Bob and his wife Sue Clarke came across from Mount Gambier for both 20-year reunions and it was also great to see current and former members of staff, Noel Boys, Jon Carnegie, Kate Hall, Chris Leadbeatter, David Mansour, Noel Stevens, John Visentin and Rick Tudor at Trinity on the night.

2021 Reunions

We continue to plan for the 30, 40 and One-Year reunions later in the year, keeping in mind potential implications of COVID-19. Please expect to receive an invitation by post and updates via email. For that reason, it is important the school has your current postal and email addresses. Please notify us of any changes to these at otg@trinity.vic.edu.au or contact Sharon Kendall, Alumni and Community Coordinator on 9854 3668 or by email
