Class of 1996 Reunites at Hills

We were so pleased to welcome back our alumni from Class of 1996 for Hills Road's first reunion. The class brought incredible energy, stories, and lots of photos looking back on their college days.

Principal Jo Trump welcomed the alumni back and shared a view of the college today, along with its many changes since the '90s. We surprised guests with a display of memories from their time here, featuring photographs, Hills Road Journals, newspaper clippings, and prospectuses straight from the 1994-1996 archive. The former principal, Colin Greenhalgh, and former Head of Art and Design, Ted Coney, also paid the alumni a visit to reminisce together.

Our wonderful volunteers, Hills Road's current Year 12s, led the former students on a tour, giving a true insight into life at the college and comparing what it's like to be student today and 30 years ago. The group remembered the times when the whole student body was still able to fit in The Hall for assemblies - back when the college was much smaller!

The alumni shared stories which took them straight back to the nostalgia of the '90s - like the rotation of the same songs on the jukebox in the Basement (now 'the Hub'), which the students hired themselves.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this reunion possible, and our honoured guests - the Class of 1996.
