Banksia Secondary College is the result of the amalgamation of four schools: Heidelberg High School, Heidelberg Technical School, Waterdale High School (formerly Heidelberg Girls High School) and La Trobe High School (formerly Rosanna High School).You may have past friends who are trying to contact you. By listing your email address here, you can renew friendships and preserve fond memories. Better still, with your help, we may form an Ex-Students and Staff Association to support efforts to keep in touch with all past pupils and staff who shared the school. We look forward to hearing from you.

• CLASS REUNIONS to be held on a five yearly cycle. You may see friends who were with you in Form 1 (Year 7) or those who joined you in Form Six (Year 12). Your reunion date would depend on the "Class" you were in. Whether you finished Year 12 or not, your "Class" would be the year you would have completed Year 12. For example, Class of '66 includes those who finished Year 12 in 1966 as well as those who may have left after Form 4 in 1964.

• Association members could receive NEWSLETTERS containing information about the College and your friends. There would be an Association Calendar of Events. There would be profiles of past pupils. It is a great way to stay in touch with your roots.

• Association Members might attend MONTHLY MEMBERS' EVENINGS at which they could chat with prominent past pupils and popular teachers. "Guests" would b invited to tickle the nostalgic taste buds and to share their achievements.

• STUDENT SUPPORT. Do you feel like giving something back to the College and society? An Association would provide a structure for past pupils to help current pupils in their hobbies, sports, studies and careers, as desired by the College. Members could call the Association to express an interest in building such programs and use the Newsletter to promote such interests. The relevant College Coordinators would be advised automatically.

• Together with the College, the Association might develop a "HISTORICAL DISPLAY". In the future, you may be able to enjoy a cup of coffee while reminiscing with your partner, children or friends. Such a display would show our pride in the College and would serve as an inspiration to current students.
