The Northern Club recently played host to a bi-annual luncheon for past presidents of the Saint Kentigern Old Collegians Association (SKOCA) on Tuesday, 28 March. The event aimed to provide an opportunity for past presidents to stay connected and up to date with the developments at the four Saint Kentigern Schools.

Current SKOCA President, Mr Hayden Butler, spoke first, welcoming everyone to the event. Executive Trustee Mr Kevin Morris then updated everyone on the Preschool, which has officially opened its doors on Shore Road. The three principals, Mr Damon Emtage, Ms Juliet Small, and Mr Peter Cassie, all gave updates on the milestones achieved by their schools, including the completion of the Shore Road Campus development, in particular, the beautiful new Girls' School. From smaller building projects, such as the confidence course at the Boys' School or intentional details, like age-focussed libraries at the Girls' School, past presidents received a feel for the heartbeat of each school.

Throughout the event, courses were served, allowing past presidents time to connect and discuss all that was happening in the life of Saint Kentigern. The event was attended by approximately 40 Old Presidents and concluded with Mr Mark Conelly, Chairman of the Trust Board, expressing his gratitude to all stakeholders for their support and his excitement about the upcoming development plan for the College Campus, which is set to be announced in June. The luncheon was a great success and served as a reminder of the strong network of individuals who care deeply about the success and continuous improvement of Saint Kentigern Schools.
