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.

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
