Well, at the Sacred Heart/Redwood College Reunion in 2024 there were only a few students from the 1977 year who attended (Harriette Blackman, Kathleen Allen and Teresa Kundycki) but we had a great time catching up with lots of stories told. We left with with regretful goodbyes and promises to keep in touch.
Two months later Harriette texts me "I'm thinking a reunion of magnitude is required in 2027. 50 years since our first year at Redwood!"
And so it began.

Harriette (Auckland), Kath (Christchurch), Gianna (Hong Kong), Virginia, Theresa G, Anne Van R (all from Nelson) met in June 2025 in Nelson. We seem to have been in contact with one or two but not everyone, so the catch up was great. We brainstormed a class list from memory and some photos. We are now trying to contact everyone and would be very happy for others to help by getting in touch with old friends and letting them know about the reunion.
We now meet on Zoom to continue our planning and celebrate adding another classmate to the growing list of those who are coming to the 2027 Reunion.
If you have any photos from Redwood school days please take a photo of them and email them to kathroachr2023@gmail.com to be added to the photo page. Use the menu bar on the top left of this page to find the photo page.
