Celebrating 50-Plus Years: A Heartfelt Reunion at St Leonard’s College
Thursday 7 November 2024
St Leonard’s College recently welcomed back alumni who graduated 50 or more years ago for a heartwarming reunion.
The 50-Plus Year Reunion brought together a cherished group of past students, united by fond memories and a shared connection.
The event commenced with a guided tour of the College, offering attendees a glimpse into its growth and transformation. A highlight of the tour for many of the attendees was the state-of-the-art Visual Arts Centre, which drew admiration for its innovative design and the creative opportunities it provides for current students.
One of the standout moments of the reunion was the presentation of the Harefield Club pins to the Class of 1974, symbolising an enduring 50-year bond with St Leonard’s. These pins, awarded as part of the College’s tradition, serve as a reminder of their lasting place in the College’s history.
Many alumni generously brought along memorabilia to the event which they donated to the College archives. These cherished items will be preserved and celebrated, enriching the historical tapestry of St Leonard’s.
Attendees also shared stories and memories of Camp Ibis, reflecting on its significance and discussing plans and ideas for its future. The collective hope for its future reflects the enduring impact it has had on past students.
St Leonard’s College extends its deepest gratitude to all who attended and contributed to the success of this milestone reunion. It was an occasion filled with laughter, reflection, and renewed connections – a celebration of the lasting legacy of our alumni community.
