Staff Alumni Reunion 2024

It was wonderful to welcome so many of our staff alums to their reunion lunch on Saturday 27 April. Those who attended included former staff with ten years or more of service who are now working elsewhere, former staff who are now retired, and current staff with ten years or more of service. The day was full of stories, memories, joy and laughter. We were blown away when considering the combined years of service for the 68 guests in attendance being over 1,200 years.
