In August, the Headmaster hosted the return of members of Year 12, 1999, who joined us to
celebrate the significant milestone of the 20 year anniversary of their graduation from BMGS.

It was a relaxed and happy evening, with time spent exploring the Archive display of their years,
which revived many memories of past achievements and adventures. We were delighted that past
members of staff, Mr. Greg Searl and Ms Kery O’Neill could also join us on the night, together with
current Science teacher, Mr. David Horwood.

Those on our email list will be aware that the BMGS Foundation recently sought feedback
regarding the way BMGS could best reconnect with members of our Alumni. The overwhelming
response from our Alumni indicated that ‘decade’ Reunions were the preferred option, therefore
this year we will be hosting three separate Reunions, for those celebrating 10, 20 and 30 year
milestones this year. The Foundation is also keen to support further Reunions, therefore if you
would like to bring your peers from a particular year Back to BMGS (e.g. 35 years), please contact
Mrs. Marlene Plummer (Archivist) via mplummer@bmgs.nsw.edu.au or the School, on 4757 9000.
