50 YEARS OF<br />
NEW COLLEGE<br />
Alumni Open Day<br />
and Sports Afternoon<br />
<strong>2019</strong> is a very exciting<br />
year for <strong>New</strong> College as<br />
we celebrate 50 years of<br />
student life, community<br />
growth, Christian<br />
ministry, and academic<br />
achievement. Our<br />
fantastic Back to <strong>New</strong><br />
weekend offered alumni<br />
and their families the<br />
opportunity to revisit<br />
their old home and catch<br />
up with old friends. Over<br />
450 alumni, partners<br />
and family members<br />
participated in aspects of<br />
the Back to <strong>New</strong> Weekend.<br />
The Open Day and Sports<br />
Afternoon at Back to <strong>New</strong> was<br />
a relaxed and enjoyable time<br />
at the College. Alumni had<br />
opportunities to explore the building,<br />
chat with friends, learn about the<br />
history of the College, enjoy a BBQ lunch<br />
and play social sport. Sport favourites<br />
such as soccer and catcheroozle had<br />
lots of ex-cols running around. What’s<br />
catcheroozle? It’s a wonderful game<br />
with netball-like rules, replacing a hoop<br />
with a teammate standing on a chair or<br />
milk crate (who hopefully can catch!).<br />
The games were casual and had people<br />
of all ages getting involved. A big thank<br />
you to our <strong>2019</strong> Assistant Dean Jacqui<br />
Willing, who helped run and organise<br />
the fun and spirited Sports Afternoon.<br />
A wonderful time was had by all.<br />
