On Saturday 7 June, we welcomed 478 OLCS and LAS alumni and guests back to campus for an opportunity to visit their School before it closes its doors for the final time this summer.
Alumni were invited to explore many areas of the School at their leisure, including the Hall, Cloisters, Chapel, Sixth Form Common Room and Library. Many took a moment to write down a memory on a card and hang it around the Cloisters, so they could be shared with fellow alumni. Midway through the day, the Chapel became a quite space for reflection, offering alumni a peaceful place to pause and remember their time at the School.
The archival display proved especially popular, with many managing to spot themselves and friends in old photographs. The Hall was also filled with a lovely atmosphere, as alumni reminisced together whilst enjoying some tea and cake.
It was wonderful to witness the strong sense of community among alumni and see so many reconnect. One alumna shared that it was her first time seeing her classmates since they left – and she will defiantly stay connected with them moving forward. Another shared how her she still considers her friends made at School as her ‘best friends’ today.
