Era reunion
How many times in life do
you get the chance to meet the people you shared
your school years with, at the site of the school?
This is a chance in a lifetime,
or at least, a chance that has been 40 years in
the making.
Celebrate your era, at Era,
on Saturday 26th November 2011
On Saturday afternoons, the spirit of Era
can still be found at Era court, Springvale Road. You can hear bell-birds; the trees still stand
on the oval and the school buildings are classified
as “significant” by the local council.
As they should be – they were significant
to all of us!
With the generous support of Carey Grammar,
Era will re-open for a day on Saturday 26th
November and you will have the chance to re-live
(or re-invent) those heady school days.
Entry will be from Mullum Mullum Reserve (parking
available at the tennis courts), walking across
the oval and up the hill to the main building
which will be open for the day. There will be regular tours of the building and
plenty of memorabilia on display.
We are hoping Era people will record their
memories in a digital diary that will be added
to the Era archives.
There will be food available for purchase
(BYO drinks), with music and entertainment for
all. Vehicle access to the school can be arranged
for anyone with special needs.
Everyone is welcome – Era students, Era
parents, Era teachers and staff; their families
and friends. Anyone and everyone associated with Era should
come along. We
are pretty sure there won’t be another reunion
like this for a long while.
Tell your family, tell your Era friends and
make sure you are all there.
1pm
to 6pm
Saturday 26th November 2011
As we get closer, more information will be
available on the Era reunion page on facebook
(ERA, Education Reform Association). Join the group and let everyone know you’ll
be part of the 40 year reunion.
It’s also a chance to make contact
with other Era-ites before the re-union; upload
photos; check out who’s doing what; who’s
with who – and who’s not.
You can also contact Leigh Svendsen.
