It’s always a pleasure to shine the spotlight on the remarkable achievements and groundbreaking progress of members who are making a positive difference in our community. In this issue we share a glimpse of the inspirational efforts of old boys who are providing hope for the future. Professor Peter Leedman AO (’74) is leading a research team to explore how augmented reality can be used to print organs; cycling enthusiasts are raising funds to fight cancer and Aiden Albert (’12) is a role model to school students in Broome after becoming a Police Officer. Thank you for your contributions, we encourage
you to please keep them coming!

Class of 1981 - 40 Year Reunion
A fabulous opportunity to catch up with friends from 40 years ago and to enjoy renewing friendships. The night went too quickly and I would encourage those who couldn’t make it to put in the diary as soon as the dates are released for the next reunion.
Apologies from many interstate and overseas and special thanks to the many driving from the country up to 1000km away. Click here to view the image gallery. Rob Cullingford ('81) | |
Class of 1976 - 45 Year Reunion
There was a great turn out to the 45 Year Reunion for the Class of ’76, despite many regrets from those class mates locked down in distant places. A playlist from the 70’s kept the afternoon upbeat, while flashback photos and a quiz provided entertainment. A special thanks to the organising committee for their efforts to reach their class mates and provide a special event. Click here to view the image gallery.

Lachie Bisset ('08) and The Endeavor Project
Proprietor of the North Street Store, Lachie Bissett (’08), shared his experience of business success with Year 6 CCGS and MLC students as part of the new ‘Endeavor’ project. Both schools invited an alumni representative to speak of their entrepreneurial achievements including branding, production and qualities required to differentiate yourself in a crowded market. Thank you, Lachie, for your insightful presentation on the remarkable growth of your business over the last four years. Lachie has plans to expand his business. Given Lachie’s attitude towards rising above obstacles and his curious interest to explore new boundaries, we have no
doubt that Lachie will be a success. Lachie, we wish you well in future.

After graduating from the WA Police Academy, Constable Albert returned to his homeland and partnered with representatives of the Fremantle Dockers to support the Kimberley district footy project. He is currently based at the Perth police station after spending four months as part of the COVID response team.
