Coffee Morning Reunion Brings Generations Together

The first of three former pupil reunions this term took place in our Main Library yesterday with pupils from the 40s, 50s and 60s returning for a coffee morning.

Our former pupils had an opportunity to meet some of their contemporaries, meet Chair of the Governors Mrs Julia McNaney, hear an update on Bablake's current strengths from Headmaster Mr John Watson, watch a video about life in the school in 1952, and mingle with Mrs Kate Duke's Shell English class.

Mrs Sylvia O'Sullivan, Alumni Liaison Officer, commented: "I always look forward to this Coffee Morning as it signifies the start of Bablake's 'Reunion Season' for our former pupils. It was especially heartwarming today to see our Shells talking to our attendees and swapping stories from school experiences that were at least 50 years apart. I eagerly await the Class of 1996/ 1996 reunion on Saturday 21st May and then later in the term our first 70s reunion."

Should you wish to attend one of our reunions or have a look around the school during the working day, we would be delighted to see you. For further information on how to arrange such a return visit, please email Mrs O'Sullivan.
