Well here we are, well into the 2022 year and it is full steam ahead for a busy and engaging year of events and reconnection! I would like to take this opportunity to reach out to all our new and existing Alumni community and to encourage you to visit our brand new website www.OPGA.com.au where you will find a range of OPGA merchandise, events, reunions, photos, history and more. We endeavour to keep you connected to the School and your alumni peers and a great way to support us in this is to update your details via the links on the website. Please also sign up to our exclusive alumni platform at www.oldpenconnect.com.au where you can view photos, chat with peers and post your own alumni related memories/photos.

2022 is set to be a big year for OPGA and all our alumni followers. Recently the School celebrated Foundation Day which was held in The Ansett Hall. In the school’s 61 year we remember and dedicate the school to the founders, parents and boys, and the local community that were steadfast in making Peninsula the success it is today. We also celebrated the 60th Anniversary of Peninsula at a sit-down lunch in the Pavilion on Saturday 2nd of April. Attended by 120 guests including early years students, past and long serving staff, current families and supporters, it was truly an event to remember. School tours were offered, speeches given by well-loved alumni members and many treasured memories were shared, re-establishing old connections and friendships. The School’s incredibly talented band kicked the event off and set the tone for a highly entertaining afternoon. Thank you to all that came and contributed to the celebration, we look forward to sharing some photos/videos of the event on our social media pages and website very soon.

This year we are also looking forward to running a number of reunions both at Peninsula and Mercetta Mornington. These include all those postponed from 2020. Please go to www.opga.com.au/events to find your date, venue and to book your ticket!

As always, if you would like to get in touch with either myself or our OPGA Alumni Liaison, Laura Vatousios ‘04, please email opga@pgs.vic.edu.au
