The enthusiastic members of the CHS 75th Anniversary Organising Committee are starting to finalise the events of the 2nd of November.We have tried to offer choices for all those who wish to participate, with plenty of time for people to catchup with former schoolmates and teachers.
The day will start at the Old Canberra High School. The ANU School of Art has kindly agreed to open the premises between 9am to 11am for you to have a look around the premises and remember what it was like when it was Canberra High School.
The Canberra High School, Bindubi Street, will be open between 10am and 2pm. Archive material and memorabilia will be displayed by decade in classrooms for you to look at. There will be a range of materials available and we encourage you to help us identify people in photographs and so on. donations will be gratefully received. A formal opening of the school will be arranged for around mid-day, with the timing to be confirmed. You will also be able to view a range of art and technology exhibitions created by current students, some of which will be themed around the 75th anniversary.
The cocktail party will be held at Canberra University between 5pm and 8pm. It will be an opportunity for you to mingle with your former schoolmates. There will be a brief formal ceremony during the evening to acknowledge the contributions that Canberra High School students and teachers have made to our community.
