Recently, I received from an Old Boy an annotated copy of a photo of the 1954 MBP swimming squad- featured in the picture is John Devitt (dual Olympic gold medallist swimmer) and the actor and comedian, Paul Hogan. An original of the photo is currently held in the school archives and we are seeking confirmation of those named in the photo and the names of those unknown faces in the photo: can you help?

In 2011, the Old Boys dinner is to be held at Parramatta Leagues Club on Friday, 21st October. The cost is $50 per person. Please set this date aside (or ask the wife to remind you) so you can come and join us for a drink. The Old Boys Committee is looking forward to seeing as many ex-students as possible this year, especially those classes from 2006, 2001, 1996, 1991 (…..and so on). Please download the PDF below and send to other Old Boys.

This year, to celebrate the 190th year of Parramatta Marist (135 years under the guidance of the Marist Brothers), the Old Boys Union and the Parramatta Marist School Executive held an Anniversary Dinner to celebrate the Oldest Catholic School in Australia. The dinner was held at Le Montage, Lilyfield, on October 29th. It was a fabulous night with many a good time had with old friends, brothers and teachers. Thank you to the organising committee for making it such a terrific night and to all those who came and help raise many thousands dollar for our Br. Coman Scholarship.
