In addition, this issue includes memories from John Duncan 1966-69 and a gallery of photographs from the 'one night only' performance of Matilda the Musical performed by current and former Banda pupils and teachers.
This year we welcome the 2018-19 Headboy and Headgirl (above), 90+ new children including 11 more second generation pupils. Two former pupils join us on the staff and three staff return for their second teaching tour! The final three pages share cross country teams from 2009 and 1991 and a second rounders team and their illustrious and formidable coach!!
Keep sharing your memories!

Welcome! It would seem everyone connected to The Banda is busier than ever, and I stand in awe of so many alumni accomplishments including an Officer cadets' passing out ceremony to swimming to Iron Man challenges to Rhino Charge success for Car 48.
With great sadness we have learnt of the passing of Linda GΓΌmoes who worked at The Banda from 1971 to 2015, an illustrious 44 year career. Memorial details will be shared in due course.
How fitting that in this issue we pay homage to the Spice Project with thanks to Linda for recounting its origins. earlier during this past year.
