Rodney College reunion invitation

Former Rodney College students and teachers now living in the UK and Australia will be among the many guests expected to attend the school’s 50th Anniversary Reunion from February 17 to 19.

The anniversary marks the year (1962), when the secondary school in Wellsford shifted from School Road to its present site in Rodney Street.

The celebratory events include sporting fixtures, wine and cheese, dinner/dance and a church service.

There will also be school tours, formalities and entertainment. On Saturday afternoon, all participants will be invited to join in a range of sporting contests and organisers are encouraging people to bring their own gear for basketball (1pm to 2.30pm), hockey (1pm to 2.30pm) bring old sticks, netball (2.30pm to 4pm), swimming (1pm to 4pm), and touch rugby (2.30pm to 4pm).

Those attending the Saturday night dance, which includes a buffet dinner and light supper, are encouraged to dress from their decade.

A combined church service will be held in the Wellsford Community Centre at 10.30am on Sunday and there will be activities around the community afterwards including golf, squash and a tour of the area. The Wellsford Golf Club is offering a special green fee of $15. To book phone 423 8385.

A 50-year anniversary magazine will be available for $13 for those who are not attending.
