Former students at Home Hill State School recently gathered at Hotel Brandon for a bi-monthly reunion.
Despite being held every two months for the last two years, the reunion held on Tuesday, October 3 was the largest with over 50 people attending, travelling from Shepparton, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Gordonvale, Mackay, and Townsville.
The regular reunion started in May 2021 when an old school friend of organiser Elizabeth Ann Edwards’ visited from the Gold Coast.
Upon her friend’s arrival, Elizabeth surprised her with a reunion of over 45 people from the Home Hill State School.
“We all found it therapeutic once we caught up,” said Elizabeth.
“It’s interesting how we’ve reconnected through school.”
Elizabeth completed her schooling at Home Hill State School in the early 1960s and said it was a good place to grow up.
“We had dances on the weekends at one of the halls and there was sport, it was a good safe community to grow up,” she said.
“Once you’re a Home Hill-ite, you’re always a Home Hill-ite.”
