Past students from across the decades reunited to reminisce about time spent at Brock at a series of Alumni Reunion events this week.
Part of the College’s ongoing Brock 100 centenary celebrations, visitors had the opportunity to meet with friends and contacts and learn more about Brock's vibrant history, evolving from a small Pupil Teacher Centre with eighteen students, to a County High School, a Grammar School and finally to its present day incarnation as tertiary college with over 3,000 full time students, 8,000 part time adult learners and over 1,000 training apprentices.
A display of artifacts and photographs from the College’s past, including the first school register from 1913, was presented for viewing. Alumni enjoyed refreshments in the Hard Brock Café, the hub of College life for current students, as well as an address from the Principal and a visual display of poignant moments from across the past academic year.
Ted Tucker studied at Brock from 1960 to1965 and said: “I was here for five years and went straight into an engineering apprenticeship afterwards – I have since gone on to travel the world working in the industry. The education I received at Brock undoubtedly set me up to pursue this career – I have so many good memories from school and it’s wonderful to come back and see how the facilities have developed and share recollections with others who were here at the same time.”
