20th Anniversary Reunion Dinner of Class of 2005

On Saturday, 20th September 2025, the Class of 2005 of St. Julian’s School gathered to celebrate a milestone that few could believe had arrived so quickly, our 20-year reunion. The evening was one filled with laughter and heartfelt moments, reminding us all of the deep sense of camaraderie and community that St. Julian’s continues to inspire in each of us.

As former students returned to the familiar grounds of the school, there was an undeniable sense of nostalgia in the air. Many hadn’t walked those corridors since graduation day, making this return after two decades even more meaningful. The setting itself, allowed everyone to reconnect, reminisce, and reflect on how far we’ve all come since those formative years.

The evening began with a welcome reception, where old friends and former teachers greeted one another with smiles and hugs that bridged the gap of time. Over a delicious meal, conversations flowed effortlessly, stories, and pictures, from our school days resurfaced, full of the laughter and mischief that defined our time at St. Julian’s. It was as if no time had passed at all.

As we shared memories of classrooms, sports fields, school trips, and unforgettable assemblies, it became clear that the foundation built during our years at St. Julian’s remains strong. The dedication of our teachers, the encouragement they gave us, and the friendships that blossomed during those years have shaped who we are today.

One of the evening’s highlights was the opportunity to stroll through the school once again. Walking past familiar classrooms and revisiting spaces filled with so many shared memories brought about a wave of reflection and gratitude. For many, this simple act of retracing our steps served as a powerful reminder of how those years at St. Julian’s were not just about education, but about growth, connection, and belonging.

The night was filled with laughter, hugs, and friendship. Stories of school plays, sports tournaments and youthful adventures echoed through, each tale rekindling bonds that time had never truly broken. It was wonderful to see that the friendships forged at St. Julian’s remain as strong as ever, a testament to the unique spirit of our school community.

As the evening drew to a close, there was a shared sense of gratitude and pride. We are deeply thankful to St. Julian’s School for hosting such a memorable night and to all the teachers, staff, and classmates who made it possible. 

Here’s to the next chapter, and to the friendships, memories, and lessons from St. Julian’s that continue to guide us, twenty years on.

With heartfelt thanks,
