About the 50th Anniversary:

The Anniversary has two functions on Saturday 3rd October 2015 (The Labour Day Long Weekend).

There will be two main functions:

• School Walkabout: In the school grounds during the morning, to see the changes made to the school since your attendance.
• Evening Dinner: At a location yet to be announced. Due to the limitation of the number of attendees, eligible persons will receive an invitation by email or post. To obtain an invitation to the dinner, contact the Reunion Committee via the email address noted at the bottom of the page. Once established, an invitation will be extended to participate in the Reunion and to join the Chatham High School Group on Facebook to maintain contact and receive updates. A bank account has been set up to receive payments for the dinner. Please refer to DINNER BOOKING page for Payment and Registration details.

Mini Reunions

• The School Tour and Anniversary Dinner are the activities planned by the Anniversary Committee for the 50^th Anniversary Celebrations.
• Former students may like to initiate smaller gatherings on Sunday, 4 October or Monday 5 October, 2015.
  • Why not make a weekend of celebrations and reuniting with old school mates?

Accommodation

• Reserve accommodation as soon as possible to avoid disappointment, as there is a Taree High School event on the same weekend.

Further Information Request

• Committee members are seeking additional photographs to include on the website, and other displays such as a power point presentation. Currently the website focuses on the period 1966-1972 but later pictures and articles are sought.
• If you have other photos please make contact via email: CHS50th@outlook.com. It would be much appreciated if student names were supplied with each contribution.
• Scanned photos are preferred but if the appropriate equipment or skills are unavailable Committee members will endeavour to assist with scanning.
• Committee members have worked hard to establish contact with many of the former students and teachers, however, there are still a large number of people whose contact details are unknown. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
