A group of 30 ex-students and staff from our years at Watson High (1965-1969) gathered at Yowani Country Club to celebrate the passing of half a century since many of us finished school (and even longer for those who left earlier!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Staff who attended included Peter Scott (Science) with his wife Wendy, and Anne Somes (PE) from the founding staff of 1965. Sadly, Louise Blue, who has attended many of our gatherings, passed away this year. We were glad to see Lyn Gorrie and Betty Growder (Maths) joining us again. Alan Murray was unable to attend at the last minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friends from our year came from far and near – Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales and many who still live locally. The evening was filled with animated conversations and happy laughter, and the mandatory group photo, ably managed by our own award-winning photographer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following morning a group of us gathered (some with partners) for brunch, more conversation and fond farewells. The years seem to be going by rather quickly and hopefully it won’t be the last time we gather, reminisce and renew old friendships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
