The Class of 2009 enjoyed a 10-years reunion on Saturday 30 March 2019. Over 30 old scholars met upstairs at Grantleigh in the Basil Fox Room, for nibbles and refreshments. Amidst the catching up and hugs, there was some chat about what the College was like 10 years ago with much interest about the good times.
College Principal, Beth Gilligan, was there and remembered these students well as 2009 was her first year at ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ»ÆƬ.
Also attending were DOSA committee members Tony Webb and Diane Cerritelli who assisted with proceedings and made sure everyone was welcome and enjoyed the occasion. Mrs Donnelly, former librarian and pastoral teacher, joined the group and remembered the students very well.
2009 graduant Ellen O’Garey did a great job organising the students to come along and there was an excellent turn-out of enthusiastic ex-students who enjoyed a meandering tour of the new buildings, such as the Oratory Space and Br Peter Dezani Design Centre, which took over the site of their old Savio Centre (gym and assembly hall). Their old classrooms in the Guzman, Savio, Siena and Bosco areas have been extensively reshaped to allow for improvements such as greater warmth, modern technology and excellent amenity.
Students even had a game of table tennis in the Rua Hub (the old Rat Hole) and a good look around their favourite spots.
Students were heading into North Hobart’s entertainment strip for a night of celebrations afterwards!
