Reunion Date has been Set!

The first official meeting for the organisers of the SHS Class of 85 Reunion took place recently, to discuss in detail the reunion event.

The date is now confirmed as Saturday, 4th September, 2010.

School holidays don't start until 18th September 2010, and it shouldn't clash with the Brisbane festival either, which starts around the 12th September.

The venue will be advised later as it gets closer to the time when invitations will be sent out. Just make note however, that the venue will be central to Brisbane city, so that for those who are travelling from interstate/overseas, will have lots to choose from in the way of accommodation.

For those of you not on facebook, could you please contact us either via phone, or preferably email to let us know....

a) your interest, i.e. interested in attending, not interested
b) your email address or postal address (preferably email) - so we can contact you and have an address to send out invitations and notifications.
c) if you are bringing a partner or not (or maybe)

The reunion email address you'll find on the RHS of this site.

And lastly, if there is anyone out there who has photographic skills, or equipment, could you please let us know? We have some ideas to make the night a memorable one, but obviously want to keep costs down, so that the ticket prices can be kept affordable. Don't worry, we won't be expecting you to be running around all night taking photos - we want you to have time to enjoy the night. We are most probably looking at some group photos of us...'25 years on'!

Ciao for now...Kerry, Justin & David

Year 12 Graduation Handbook

I have now taken a copy of our Graduation handbook, and we will start contacting ex-students from the booklet within a couple of months. Our hope is that we will have minimum of 150 people for our reunion, and the current tally sits at 70 (attending, interested, maybe attending), and does not include partners. Apparently, 60-70% attendance of student numbers is considered a successful reunion, which means between 141 and 165 people attending is a good figure to aim for.

I think it would be a reasonable goal to have contacted the majority of students by around September of this year, and to have a firm date range of either March-May or September-November, finalised by then, so that everyone can decide whether it's possible for them to attend or not.
