Seventy members of the "Class of '74" returned to the school on September 21 to celebrate our 50 year reunion. This represented nearly two-thirds of the cohort with known contact details. 

We may look somewhat different to what we were (thank goodness for name tags) but the smiles were readily recognizable and a great night of revelry, memories and exchanges of stories was had by all. Proceedings commenced with an entertaining and eye-opening tour of the campus by our own in-house guide, Dave McKeith (OKG74), then the current Headmaster Scott James welcomed us back and provided an update on the School, the tiered Academy structure now in place on the senior campus and education trends in NSW. The traditional reading of the 1974 Honor Roll followed by a humorous speech from Peter Armitage concluded the formalities and three hours of relaxed camaraderie followed. 

With our members now flung to all corners of the globe, it was pleasing to see so many travel from intrastate, interstate and overseas to be there. 

Special thanks to Lachlan Liao and the OKGA for their assistance and support in hosting the event, particularly the last-minute switch of venue to the School. We were the guys in 6th Form / Year 12 when the School celebrated its 50th anniversary so it felt appropriate to be back to see it turn 100.
