I remember so little of these high school days; and yet, they were some of the most important days of my life. I missed out on a lot. I truly wish that I would have gotten to know so many more of you. To have been actual friends with so many more of you,not to just know who you were. To have shared times, to have shared experienced, and to have been so much more a part of what were some of the best years of our lives. I'm now in casual contact with a few, and that means the world to me. To the rest of my classmates; I wish you all the best- always.

G'day Sandie, it's so great of you to continue to keep the Class of 72 together with your efforts...

I am in agreement with mate Rosek's comment that in hindsight, I wish I had taken the time to get to know more of my classmates, but then, even by today's standards, we had a huge class.  It is strange that even though HS is only 4 years, it's 4 years of your life that tends to be well-remembered and chesished...

Hello again my dear friends, I cannot help but wish with some regret,that I was not trained to be more GREGARIOUS during my High School Years. I think that I really should have cultivated and stayed in touch with at least 100 fellow travelers !!

High school is the last 'pit stop' before adulthood. After high school we were expected to behave and function as adults more and more as time went on. Some people make that transition more seamlessly than others. Prior to high school we were thought of as children. We were herded in and out of school, church, and many activities. We basically did what we were told. During high school, we were given more freedom to think and act for ourselves than ever before. It felt like a magic time period. We all got to experience this...toGETHER!!! I have no real regrets about high school. I was not a mature adult. Some choices I made were good, some were bad. The whole experience was a sort of 'rite of passage'. It seemed like it took forever to get from birth through high school, but since high school, time has flown at warp speed.

I am really looking forward to getting to know so many of you (that I, too, wish I had during high school) at the class reunion. We were pretty immature and thought the unimportant things in life were the things that really mattered. Guess that's what growing up is all about! Can't wait to meet and greet you!      Linda

Looking forward to greeting ALL OF YOU at our Welcome Table where all the name tags with your graduation photo :)

Your 2022 Reunion Committee is working steady to find All the Missing Classmates.

If each of you would reach out to your peeps from high school with a personal invitation, that would be so helpful in helping us reach even more!

See you August 19th!

Hi... this seems very strange... Anyway, I was having a look at our yearbooks and decided to post the 1970 one when were in grade 10 (Aussie-speak).

So I put it in the photos section of our site.

If you want, it can also be downloaded as a PDF file from MS OneDrive using the following link

Hoping to attend the reunion but it's a bit tricky at this point...
