NovoDay 100 years of RGS at Eskdale Terrace Old Novos, their friends and family gathered at RGS for Novo Day on the first Saturday in March. Over 230 people filled up the main hall, the cornerstone of the 100 year celebration, where, over a coffee, they caught up with old school friends, and perused the archive displays. Most also took the opportunity to have a guided tour with the school’s prefects, which included the new stunning Performing Arts Centre, as well as a OTC/CCF display. After the buffet lunch in the dining hall, Novo Day finished in style – a rendition of the school song, played by Mike Barlow on the organ in the hall! Many Old Novos commented on what a good shape the school is in, and how friendly and informative the prefects were – and how they don’t want to wait 100 years for the next Novo Day!
