50 Year Reunion
60 Year Reunion
TERRY FENNER
???
On 26 October 2019, 50 ‘OLD GIRLS’ met for the Annual
Mass and Morning Tea, to be followed by a get-together
at Mantra on Queen. It was special to walk into the
Chapel after so many years and the singing of the School
song was, as they say, PRICELESS. It is true that ‘the more
things change, the more they stay the same’.
Some shared thoughts of our ladies on the day:
Joan Hanley—Catching up after 50 years was a good
experience. Lots of fun.
Claudia Ukalovic—I felt very happy to see everybody.
Stella Rush—The 50 years melted away and the AHS girls
were back! Very special!
Stephanie FitzGerald—The best and amazing thing was
we all chatted like it was just a few years not 50! Loved
sharing our lives and experiences. Fabulous!
Dianne Russ—What a wonderful day it was! Fabulous to
catch up with so many old friends.
Erica Tomkins—A day never to be forgotten! What we all
have in common are those experiences of all those years
ago that we don’t need to explain! They are a given that

we remember exactly as they occurred! And our shared
language that also does not need explanation!
Paula Tewksbury—The whole thing was great, no
expectations; the Chapel made me feel special to be part
of such a strong and loving community. The morning tea
was special because we are part of such a long history
of girls; the reception after was perfect as we are old
enough to have lost being self-conscious and could be
school friends again.
Many thanks to Lenore Thompson for all her assistance
to make the day memorable and to the committee of
Cathy Douglas, Steph FitzGerald, Paula Tewksbury, Joan
Hanley and myself.
We had 40 of our 1959 Senior Class return to All Hallows’
School for our 60th reunion. This event was held as part
of the Annual Past Pupils’ Mass and Morning Tea.
An enjoyable morning was had by all, reconnecting,
laughing and sharing stories. Thank you to Rosie Russell
and Diane Josephson for coordinating this wonderful
event.
