Thursday 11th June 2026
It was a pleasure to welcome back members of the Class of 1968 as they returned to support the 1st XV during last week's sports exchange against Hamilton Boys' High School.
A highlight of the day was presenting each of them with a Tiger Jacket. Many had generously surrendered their original jackets during the Tiger Jacket Amnesty years ago, helping preserve this proud tradition for future generations. It was fitting to recognise their contribution and present them once again with a special piece of school history.
As we toured the school, they shared stories from their time here, providing a wonderful reminder that while much has changed over the decades, the values and spirit of the school remain as strong as ever.
Thank you to Jim Glenn, Cliff Jackson, Alan Inman, Gordon Wright, and Larry O'Neill for returning to support our students and share your memories.
If you're an Old Boy interested in returning for a walk around the school and a trip down memory lane, we'd love to hear from you.
Warm regards
Jade Tyrrell
Alumni Manager
