2023 Nostalgia Lunch
At the 2023 Nostalgia Lunch, SAOBA and the Foundation were delighted to host nearly 50 Old Boys from the Classes of 1962 - 1973 who have all celebrated 50 years since leaving the College. Every class was represented, and we wish the Classes of 1963 and 1973 special congratulations for celebrating 60 and 50 years since leaving the College. Fr Peter Jones OSA (Class of 1976) and Prior Provincial was one of our special guests as well as Fr Paul Maloney OSA and the College Chaplain Fr Senan Ward OSA. All three Augustinians taught at the College. Our Old Boy guests were met at the front gate by our Primary School leaders who guided them to the Goold Level 4 Terrace, where they enjoyed a delicious lunch and shared many nostalgic schooldays stories and memories. Following lunch, Chris Hardy (Class of 1975) conducted a tour of the College campus, which has changed considerably since the time these Old Boys attended the College.
