10 Year Reunion
CHLOE DAWSON
On Saturday, 16 November 2019, the All Hallows’
Class of 2009 celebrated our 10-year reunion at The
Alliance Hotel in Spring Hill.
Our celebration included former students who
travelled interstate and internationally to attend the
reunion, with 62 AHS graduates attending on the day.
It was great to see everyone ‘10 years later’.

The Hallowian | 2019
The feedback from the day was that everyone was
still the same as when we were in high school. The
girls reminisced about the Jumpin’ Jive days on the
Terrace and also had some trivia questions based on
our school days.
We look forward to the next Class of 2009 reunion.
On Saturday, 7 December 2019, over 55 ladies from the
Class of 1999 reunited for Mass celebrated by Fr Eric
Alleaume OMI in All Hallows’ Chapel. Mass was a joyful
occasion; the highlight was the singing of ‘Angeli’, which
brought back many memories for all. Mrs Catherine
O’Kane gave a moving speech before we embarked on
a tour of our alma mater. The AHS sisters of ’99 were
delighted to see many changes. Our old pool area was
nowhere to be seen; instead replaced with the state of
the art Concilio Aquatic Centre. Most ladies stopped
for a spot of shopping, stocking up on AHS memorabilia
including tea towels, stationery and wine glasses.
The afternoon was spent at nearby Howard Smith
Wharves and included lunch and a joyful ‘walk down
memory lane’, where we reconnected with the young
women who had shaped our teenage years. Thanks to
our organising committee, Dominque Harvey and Anna
Caton, for bringing together the AHS Class of 1999, in
what was a very memorable 20-year reunion.
It is certainly true as the adage goes ‘Once an All
Hallows’ girl, always an All Hallows’ girl’.
