The Class of 1969 held its 50th Reunion on Saturday 19 October 2019 at the wonderful Royal Perth Golf Club.

It was a night of much laughter and reminiscing about school days, as well as subsequent years.

Forty-four classmates travelled from overseas and throughout Australia to celebrate the occasion. Special efforts were made by Dr Simon Dolin who came from Scotland, Bruce Shanahan travelled from Beverly Hills, Los Angeles and Dr Graeme Bradley made the trip from Melbourne.

Three teachers who taught us some fifty years ago were also invited. We were very pleased that Max McAppion, Basil Warner and Bob Stanley accepted and added a great deal to the evening.

In what is a fantastic achievement for one of our class, in May 2017, Pope Francis appointed Father Michael Morrissey as the Bishop of Geraldton. During the evening, Michael conducted a prayer service for nineteen of our classmates who have sadly passed away.

The Class of 1969 wishes to sincerely thank Nichole Rowson at Aquinas College for all her help in ensuring the reunion was such a success.
