n a scorching evening just before Christmas, a large group of boys from the Boys’ OSchool Class of 2001 (now college graduates) along with their parents, came together for a BBQ to catch up with old friends before they head off on the next stage in their lives.

It was great to see these friendships rekindled as the boys shared stories of their respective college experiences and talked about ‘where to from here.’ Parents also had chance to reconnect and remember a time shared during their sons’ days at the School.

The boys took the opportunity to take a look around the grounds to see how things have Boys’ School Head Boy 2001, Isaac Samuels, changed on campus before tucking into a BBQ dinner cooked up by Principal, Mr Peter then and now! Cassie and ‘Student No 20,’ Peter Nelson.
