50 Years

Celebrating 50 Years

2010 marked the 50th anniversary of our School. It was a wonderful year of celebrations including two fantastic dinners in Sydney and Coffs Harbour which were attended by over 500 ladies, all of whom had a long connection with our School, many still involved either as teachers or pupils. The final celebration was incorporated in our Grand Finals at Sydney Town Hall on November 28.

We invited all of our ex Grand Champions to join us for this special occasion and we were very pleased that so many of them were able to do so.

We were especially honoured to have with us our very first Grand Champion Girl from 1961, Barbara Hayes, who presented the trophy and sash to the 2010 Grand Champion Girl, Melissa Brailey from our Tuggerah Lakes club.

To see all these ladies in the parade of ex Grand Champions was awe-inspiring and was certainly a fitting conclusion to the night which was enjoyed by all present.

We trust our School will continue for at least another 50 years!
