Hi Zareena
St Augustine’s College Sydney is 68 years old. We hosted combined decade reunions a number of years ago as traditional individual Alumni class reunion participation was quite low.
We called the event the “Reunion of the Decades” and for example in 2013 the Alumni Class of 1963 (our first class), Class of 1973, Class of 1983, Class of 1993, Class of 2003 and Class of 2013 were invited. The gatherings became very popular, and numbers increased over the 3 years we ran them. The feedback was great however as the reunion numbers became too big the Alumni decided on going back to having their own individual class reunions. So, we went back to Class reunions with a set model of BBQ/drinks/tour for 2 hours at the school then the Alumni group go to another hotel/club/venue close by.
For older Alumni we host an annual “Nostalgia Lunch” for Classes who have celebrated 50 years since leaving.
Every 5 years an Alumni dinner event is held for all of the Alumni at a local golf club or venue which can cater for 200-300 guests.
Hope that helps.

I use Humanitix for all the reasons Lucinda has mentioned. It has a slightly more expensive booking fee than Trybooking however all profits from booking fees assist needy children around the world.Hi Tim
I started a Mentor Program with our Alumni, mentoring a target group of first year out of school Alumni in 2019 which has been quite successful. I have guidelines and a presentation to train mentors that I can share with you.
My email is rloneragan@saintaug.nsw.edu.au if interested.
Best wishes
Rod
