Dear Past Students,

We have had a great response and a substantial interest in the Oxley College Reunion scheduled for October 18th 2008, for those who had graduated between 1988 to 1998.  However, this interest has not resulted in sufficient RSVP’s for this event to proceed.  Through feedback received, there are many factors that have perhaps had bearing on this outcome, including many now living interstate and overseas, a busy time of year, many had already made plans, some receiving information rather late etc.

After careful consideration, it has regretfully been decided to cancel this weekend’s event.  We apologise that we were unable to give a greater lead up time to the event, however there were many circumstances that unavoidably delayed the collection of contact details and mailing of invitations.  We certainly would welcome any feedback from you regarding the proposal for an event such as this.

We will look at canvassing ideas and facilitate opportunities for year levels to get together in the future.

We were very much looking forward to hosting this reunion on the school property and meeting with you all.  I have personally informed those who had indicated they would like to attend and each agreed that unless a substantial number of students were to attend for each year level, it would be best to plan an alternative event down the track.

As a part of organising this event, we have managed to contact many past students.  There are still many for whom we do not have contact details.  Please encourage all of your school friends to contact us or they may choose to complete the Past Students Survey at www.oxley.vic.edu.au. The success of reunions depends on our ability to network information.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with information or suggestions. If you are in the area at any time and would like to visit the school and have a tour of the many new facilities, please feel free to give me a call and I would be only too happy to show you around.

Kind regards,
