50 years on: Kiama High alumni reuiniteKiama High reunion group photo

Half a century may have flown by, but last Saturday, October 12th, 60 former Kiama High School students reunited in what, for some, was once their old primary school classroom at The Sebel.

It felt as though we were transported back 50 years! While our appearances may have changed slightly (!), our friendships hadn't. We picked up right where we left off all those years ago. The old ex classroom was filled with lively chatter and laughter as we reminisced and caught up on each other's lives.



Just like in the old days, we danced as we had in the school gym, even forming the ritual conga line when "Running Bear" played. Who said we were old?
