Echoes of the Past, Shaping the Future
Step into the enduring spirit of our school through the Old Boys’ Association. What began as a grand vision to unite every facet of our school community – from our revered Old Boys and the Scinde Old Boys, to the dedicated Parents League, past and present teachers, Board members, and cherished friends – has evolved. Today, while our voice still resonates for all, it is the powerful collective of our Old Boys that truly drives our purpose.
We are the living bridge between yesterday and tomorrow, committed to celebrating our heritage and forging new pathways.
“Columns” Your Biannual Dispatch
Dive into “Columns,” our meticulously curated newsletter, published twice yearly under the expert eye of Chris Geddis. It’s your essential update on school life, pressing issues, Old Boys’ achievements, and captivating feature stories.
The Reunion Revival
We believe in the power of connection. Our biennial year group reunions are crafted to bring you back together with your classmates, rekindling the bonds formed in your starting years. These aren’t the quarter-century spectaculars (though we proudly support those too, like the unforgettable 125th and 150th reunions!) they’re gatherings designed for genuine reconnection. And with every reunion, our comprehensive Old Boys’ database grows stronger, ensuring we can always reach our incredible network.
Custodians of Our Story
Phillip Rankin, our devoted archivist, is constantly unearthing and preserving the invaluable treasures of our school’s past. He’s not just collecting memorabilia he’s safeguarding our identity. With Judith Craigie, Phillip meticulously researches the military records of our Old Boys, honouring those who served in the World Wars, especially those who fell in action. His dedication also provides a vital resource for families and historians seeking to understand our school’s rich human tapestry.
A Pillar of Support
More than formal engagements, the Association acts as an invaluable confidant for the Headmaster. We offer a wealth of historical context and insights into the lives of Old Boys, ensuring that decisions are made with a deep understanding of our school’s unique journey.
