PAST students from throughout Mount Clear College\u2019s history are being invited back onto campus as part of an all-years reunion next month.<\/p>\n
As part of the event, which will run on Saturday 21 October from 12pm to 2pm, more than 100 historical items will go on display with guided tours to update attendees on the school\u2019s modern facilities.<\/p>\n
Aidan Edwards marketing and development coordinator said the event will give the school\u2019s alumni the chance to see how the school has changed over the years.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a lot of past students who are really eager to come through the college and have a look through,\u201d he said. \u201cObviously a lot\u2019s changed in the last six years ago with new facilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll open up the school for the day and have our historical items and records on display while our staff will lead people through the college.<\/p>\n
\u201cCurrently, we don\u2019t have a reunions program. Most years self-host them, so we\u2019re kind of organising this around that because we know there\u2019s a couple reunions on the same day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Live music will be provided by current school students while footage from past student productions will be on display.<\/p>\n
Mr Edwards said the all-years reunion is part of an effort to introduce a dedicated past students program for Mount Clear College.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve commenced an alumni program as of the start of last year,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve joined forces with Ourschool which supports government schools in alumni programs.<\/p>\n
\u201cMount Clear itself is a young school though there\u2019s still a rich history there so we\u2019ve opened this up to the Ballarat Girls\u2019 School or Ballarat Technical School.\u201d<\/p>\n
More than 1300 archival items have been digitised as part of the alumni program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
