18th, 19th and 20th, Dec 2025
The bonhomie of 50 years ago picked up much before the event. A Golden Jubilee WA group was formed of classmates from all over the globe. The organising Committee decided to have a Coffee Table Book with a special section encompassing the stories of all classmates who would like to narrate their journey in life and their experiences over the last 50+ years.
Another enthusiastic exercise was sharing of various class photographs, of different standards, and getting the group to identify and put names to the faces.
About 115 classmates participated. A nostalgic school tour was organised, which included photo ops sitting in various classrooms, a photo in the library with the librarian of our time, Nirmala Braganza Kapadia. The famous Riklin Cup which St.Vincent’s had re-won just 10 days earlier also held center space in another photograph.

The program at the Gulati Hall started with the Vincent’s Brass Band playing the National anthem followed by the School anthem.
The commemorative Coffee Table Book was launched by the Principal Fr.Titus Thangaraj. It contains vintage photographs with names to the faces as well as 65 candid ‘Missing Years‘ autobiographies. Fr.Titus spoke about the strong love that Vincentians have for their alma mater.
Ten teachers and staff from back in the day - two of whom travelled from out of town specially for this event, were hosted by us. The classmates also visited home bound teachers. All teachers were showered with gratitude and affection as well as a gift bag.
The family members of the 35 classmates who have passed away were invited to attend the event and/or provide a video tribute to their loved one which was played on screen. A touching photo memorial titled ‘Gone but not forgotten’ made sure these classmates were part of the celebrations.
Various social outreach programs undertaken by the classmates in the past few years were highlighted to get more classmates interested and involved in future outreach programs for the needy which are planned. Special T Shirts and Caps were distributed to classmates and guests.
The proceedings showed that neither time nor distance has diminished the bonhomie and camaraderie amongst old classmates and teachers.
