Initially, there had been around 120 students, distributed over four classes. More than a quarter of those students were able to attend.

I only studied at Parkes High for one year, but my fellow students and the Parkes High motto "Dum Vivo Disco", as long as I live I learn, have made a lasting impression.

An initial meet and greet was held at the RSL Club on Friday night, followed by one of the highlights of the event, a very impressive and informative bus tour with expert commentary from Roel ten Cate.

Our cohort was blown away by how Parkes has changed from a sleepy country town to a thriving transport hub in 67 years.

Thanks to the wonderful organisation by Ian Chambers, Merran Freebairn and panel it was a most enjoyable event with old memories revived and new ones made. Many thanks to all.
