Biannual Luncheon for Past Presidents of SKOCA

The Northern Club played host to a biannual luncheon for past presidents of the Saint Kentigern Old Collegian Association (SKOCA) on 28 March. The event provided an opportunity for past presidents to stay connected and up to date with developments at the four Saint Kentigern schools.

Then SKOCA President Mr Hayden Butler spoke first, welcoming everyone to the event. Executive Trustee Dr Kevin Morris then updated everyone on the new Preschool, which has officially opened its doors on Shore Road. The three principals, Mr Damon Emtage, Ms Juliet Small, and Mr Peter Cassie, all gave updates on the milestones achieved by their schools, including the completion of the Shore Road campus development and in particular the beautiful new Girls’ School. From the sharing of building projects such as the confidence course at the Boys’ School and intentional details like age- focused libraries at the Girls’ School, past presidents received a feel for the heartbeat of each school.

Throughout the luncheon, courses were served, allowing the past presidents time to discuss all that was happening at Saint Kentigern. The event was attended by approximately forty former presidents and concluded with Trust Board Chair Mr Mark Conelly, expressing his gratitude to all stakeholders and sharing excitement about the upcoming Master Plan development for the College campus.

The luncheon was a great success and served as a reminder of the strong network of individuals who care deeply about the success and continuous improvement of Saint Kentigern schools.

It is with sadness that we recognise the passing of the following members of the Saint Kentigern community. We express our sincerest condolences to their families.
