The Classmates from the Sub A (Grade 1) of the Class of 1965 had their 60th reunion (Matric 1976/PM1977).  There were thirteen of them, from a class of 24!  They met up at Constantia Glen for lunch on Friday 22nd August 2025.  Many of the class had not seen each other for over 50 years, so it was a fantastic afternoon of nostalgia and reminiscing.  Of the class of 24, one has passed away, four were untraceable, six are scattered around the world and unable to attend and thirteen were present (more than 50%), so a great turnout! ‎

This was the 3rd Sub A class after the Pre-prep was opened. The class teacher was Mrs Currey wife of Charles Currey (College teacher and later housemaster of Ogilvie & V-P).  Three of the 21 were absent.
