President’s Report November 2024
The past few months have been bustling for the Old Collegians Association. We΄ve had the pleasure of hosting several reunions and the OCA gatherings in Dunedin and Wellington.
It is an honour to have been re-elected as President of the Old Collegians Association in August. Since then, we have had the pleasure of participating in several joyous alumni events as we cherish Christine Leighton’s final months as Rector.
Earlier this year, we attended our OCA regional event in Wellington. It was wonderful to reconnect with Old Collegians of all ages – the alumni spirit is alive and well in the capital. A heartfelt thank you to Old Collegian, Jonathan Scragg (1996), for hosting such a memorable evening.
Our OCA Annual Dinner in August was another sold-out success. While I won’t delve into the details (please refer to the Events section of the Regulus for a summary), I extend my gratitude to Catering Manager, Russell Gray, and his team for their exceptional contributions. I also wish to acknowledge Alumni and Community Relations Co-ordinator, Lisa Clark, for her outstanding organisation and energy, which ensured a first-class evening befitting our impressive Old Collegian award recipients. The stories and journeys of our alumni never cease to amaze.
I encourage all alumni to stay tuned to our future publications and social media for information about an exciting Old Collegian event we are planning for late next year. It promises to be an unforgettable occasion and is sure to sell out quickly. More details to come!
Lastly, as I pen my final column for 2024, I wish to express my deepest appreciation to outgoing Rector, Christine Leighton, for her incredible 17 years of service. Christine, your dedication and enthusiasm have profoundly impacted thousands of Old Collegians worldwide. Thank you, Gavin Leighton, for your support as the ‘First Gentleman’, and to your sons, Tom and Alex, thank you for sharing Christine with us.
Sam Crosbie (OC 2009)
President, Old Collegians Association
