VPHS Victorian Legends Chairman’s Report As another year passes, we reflect on the efforts of the Victorian Legends over the past year. Our flagship event of the year, the Reunion Weekend, went off without a hitch. New record numbers were set, with the Classes of 1964 and 1994 astounding us with their numbers. I am sure that every Past Pupil who attended would have left with a feeling of pride and satisfaction. The Thorp Hall was filled to capacity at our Friday night Reunion Dinner and, if the current trend of increasing numbers continues, we are going to have to rethink our strategy for hosting the event in the future. 2015 presents the Legends with a somewhat bigger project to tackle. The “Leave a Legacy” project was taken over by the Legends with a reasonable amount of success. This is a great opportunity for past pupils to leave their name indelibly etched at the school, as well as an on-going fundraising opportunity, and all monies raised will be used for school projects. Unfortunately, due to inclement weather, the hockey and soccer matches against the school had to be abandoned, and we will have to wait until next year to protect our proud records against the scholars! The year- end function in the Victorian was once again very popular and well attended. I am sure that the past pupils who attended enjoyed themselves immensely. The Legends Committee L to R: Andrea van Rooyen, Sharon Williamson, Davina Coombs and Syd Rose. Front: Jeff Ferreira Victorian Legends, whose financial assistance makes all this possible. You make it all worthwhile. Syd Rose Chairman The Legends are involved in many of the School projects – the “Greening the Campus”, covered walkway, bathroom upgrades, Leave-a-Legacy and many more. In addition, we are more and more involved in various committees at the School and our input is greatly appreciated. A big thank you to the Victorian Legends Committee, who all contributed to making the year the success it was. Your input did not go unnoticed and the compliments that the Legends receive are testimony to your efforts. Finally, a big thank you to the Members of the 49 Best wishes from the Victorian Legends
