REUNIONS

On Friday 5 May we welcomed more than 90 past students from the class of 2021 to City Cite for their Two Year Reunion.

As their final years at the School were so interrupted by COVID-19, it was wonderful to see this cohort really embrace the opportunity to catch up, unconstrained by the restrictions that were in place during their final two years at Grammar. Many spoke about what a unique experience they shared and the strong bonds that consequently formed across the group.

The reunion was informal, with attendees mingling and chatting over drinks and food. The conversations were lively and laughter-filled as friends shared stories and reconnected with classmates (Zoommates?). We loved catching up with you all.

We recently held a momentous Gathering in London, marking a significant reunion after over a decade. Led by Headmaster, Mr Heath, the event brought together Old Grammarians, former staff, and friends of the school who now reside in the United Kingdom. Despite the geographical distance, the gathering served as a powerful testament to the enduring spirit of our close-knit community.

The London Gathering highlighted the profound impact of a shared educational experience, reminding attendees that the essence of Ballarat Grammar transcends borders. It celebrated the values, traditions, and lifelong connections that continue to unite our community, no matter where we may be in the world. The event was a testament to the resilience and enduring bond that holds the Ballarat Grammar community together, no matter the distance.
