CLASS OF 1962 – 60TH ANNIVERSARY REUNION

The Class of 1962 celebrated its 60th Anniversary Reunion on Friday 30 September in the front bar of the Duxton Hotel where the old CBC Terrace stood. Tim Delaney, as Head Boy, welcomed the group and Peter Nisbet toasted absent friends.

This group of Old Boys is a special group, as they are the first ‘Class of’ to graduate from the newly named Trinity ‘by the river’. They were the boys from the Leaving class of 1962 to see the basic buildings which included the wonderful Chapel, the Brothers’ accommodation, the main three-storey teaching wing, the handball court and sand – and more sand.

As the first Year 12 class in the new school, the attendees remain privileged to be part of the enduring history of the CBC Terrace /Trinity College, now past 125 years. Brother Kelly was Headmaster. Other notable Brothers included Br Carrigg and Seaman. All three have left a wonderful mark of wisdom, care and friendship that has endured a lifetime. Many stories were told about school day antics with classmate, Colin ‘Cookie’ Cook, featuring in more than a few (who unfortunately couldn’t attend the gathering). It was a fabulous gathering of classmates. Special mention goes to Paul Coronel who flew from Melbourne for the event. A huge thank you is extended to Chris Lalor and David Clarke for coordinated the gathering.
