Reunions and events

Our Principal, Mr Farrer, travelled to Sydney and Canberra in August to reconnect with OTGs who are now living and working in these cities. These gatherings provided a wonderful opportunity to strengthen alumni connections, hear about the diverse careers and experiences of our Old Trinity Grammarians, and share updates from the school. We thank everyone who attended and helped make the visits such a success.

It was wonderful to see so many members of the Class of 2016 who were able to join us for their 10 year reunion in September.

The Class of 1976 recently celebrated its 50th Anniversary with a dinner at the Skinny Dog Hotel in Kew. With the support of the school and a dedicated team of Class of ’76 volunteers, the organisers were able to reconnect with members of the cohort, with approximately 50 classmates attending the event.

A particular highlight of the evening was the attendance of the Preshill students who attended Trinity and two former teachers, Roy Farrance and Richard Pearson, both of whom were in fine form.

It was wonderful to catch up with them and reminisce about people, classes and events from more than 50 years ago.

The dinner featured a slideshow of photographs spanning the years from Grade 1 through to 1976, including memorable images of the victorious 1st XVIII team. Attendees also shared fond memories of Bernie Byers and John “Indo Jack” Collins, sparking plenty of laughter and reflection.

The evening included a number of entertaining speeches, expertly led by the night’s MC, “Lethal” Leigh Hodges, whose humour kept the room thoroughly engaged. It was a fantastic night, filled with friendship, nostalgia and great memories, and a fitting celebration of the Class of 1976.

Just over 100 members of the Trinity community joined us for the OTGA Community Breakfast in August. Guests were treated to an insightful presentation by Australia’s leading AI specialist, futurist, entrepreneur, author and respected media commentator, Steve Sammartino. Steve explored the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, demystifying complex concepts and explaining the opportunities and challenges of this transformative technology in an engaging and accessible way.

Our sincere thanks go to Steve for sharing his expertise and delivering such a thought-provoking and enjoyable presentation. To find out more about Steve go to stevesammartino.com
