2007 reunion

The former pupils who attended the School on Saturday 6 October had a wonderful day, catching up with old friends and former staff. We enjoyed welcoming former pupils from as far afield as California and Vancouver, and nearer home from Tiree to Cambridge. One former pupil even paid a quick visit after a flight back from the USA on Saturday, before traveling to India the next day.

Mr Ian Thomson, (Class of 1942) is pictured on the left with his son-in-law Hamish Learmont, (Class of 1969), who was visiting the School, and granddaughter, Catherine Learmont (Class of 1997). Catherine, who is now an art teacher, enjoyed visiting her old teachers in the Art Department, which was open for visitors and prospective parents during the School's Open Morning.

Everyone enjoyed a drinks reception and buffet supper in the School in the evening. As always in the Development Office we enjoyed meeting up with you all.

The biggest ever reunion

The biggest ever reunion organised by the Development Office took place on Saturday 9 June 2007. The George Square Ladies' Reunion was a resounding success with over 640 former pupils and staff attending. The quad in Colinton Road named George Square was formally opened by May Nicol, former Head of History at George Square Ladies' College and Deputy Headmistress of Colinton Road. Liz Smith MSP gave a wonderful oration, and most of the ladies who attended visited the premises in George Square. Click below to view the list of those who attended.

The Reunion on Saturday 7 October 2006 was a huge success. Former pupils attended Open Morning at the School where they had the opportunity to reminisce with friends. Some attended the Watsonian Rugby game in the afternoon, and all enjoyed an excellent meal at Murrayfield Stadium in the evening. Thanks to everyone who has contacted the Development Office - it was a pleasure to organise it all for you.
