We are coming together again 61+ years after many of us finished school.

Save the Date

The date chosen is 30 April from 2-6 pm at the same venue as 10 years ago.

What a great afternoon it was!

It was great to catch up with past teachers and students. I took a few photos but missed getting many of the attendees. If you took photos and would like them included here please email to lhs50yearson@gmail.com.
