OS REUNIONS
10 YEAR REUNION : CLASS OF 2014
The 10 Year Reunion took place at school on Saturday 11 May . We welcomed nearly 100 alumni , mainly from the UK and Europe , but with some joining us from further afield , including the US , China and India . It was a joyful , moving evening and a fantastic event for everyone who attended .
The Headmaster , Jesse Elzinga , gave a welcome speech celebrating the current achievements of the school and some future plans . Saul Greenhalgh replied for the OS with a speech that was charming , warm and very funny , sharing his great memories of school and the teachers who taught him , and reflecting on the success of the year group after school . He loved his time at Sevenoaks . The event was beautifully organised , creating a fun , welcoming atmosphere . Laughter and stories flowed freely , and everyone enjoyed reconnecting with their old friends and teachers .

20 AND 30 YEAR REUNIONS : CLASSES OF 2004 AND 1994
The first thing that springs to mind when the invitation comes for a reunion is that it surely can ’ t have been another 10 years , and 30 years in total for me . The second thing is that I find myself living in Sevenoaks , being a governor of Solefield School , which I attended , and I ’ m sitting in the Sevenoaks Dining Hall speaking to my teachers and listening to the Headmaster , so this apple hasn ’ t fallen far from the tree !
However , no matter where the apple has fallen , people came back . Catching up with friends was fun ; a chance to share memories and regress . It was also so nice to catch up with teachers , Mr Smith ( who is always a great speaker ) and Mr Guyatt , who taught us 20th century history , so we had plenty to catch up on ! The food was delicious , and , with the warm weather , the addition of a G & T station was inspired . Thank you for hosting such a fun evening .
