We also anticipate holding a reunion in London, the first for five years. We are tying this in with the School’s UK Cricket Tour. We expect the reunion will be held as two different events (one causal, one as a meal), between Friday and Sunday 7 July 2024. More information to come on this proposal.

Closer to the dates, invitations to Old Scholar events will be either posted or emailed, depending on what contact information we are holding. Please note that the interstate reunions are open invitations to our community. If you are passing through a city at the time of a reunion, please let us know so that we can extend an invitation to you. Likewise, if you know of someone who is interstate but whose address has not been updated to reflect this move, please let us know.

It is with sadness we learnt that Old Scholar Nicholas McArdle, Class of 2001, passed away on 30 November 2023. Nick and his family – parents David and Barbie, sister Julia (’99) and brother Will (’04) – were well known members of our School community during the late '90s and early '00s. Barb was a former President of the Mothers’ Club. Nick was a former Dragons player, part of a strong network of Old Scholars. We understand a funeral will be held on Thursday 14 December at Morphettville Racecourse. Our thoughts are with Nick’s wife Veronica, their daughters Freja and Neve, and his extended family.

A service to celebrate Nick's life will be held at the Morphettville Racecourse, Wolf Blass Event Centre, 1.00 pm on Thursday 14 December 2023. It will also be livestreamed at: Nicholas McArdle Funeral Service on Livestream
