What would the Headmaster have made of it all? Here we are nearly sixty years on from the time he decided he would go into education and that embryonic thought developed into St. Michael's School and all this means  to so many people. 
Why did he do it? I really do not know but it clearly became the great part of his life's work and something of which he was justifiably proud. The school may have had its up's and down's but it has clearly provided and encouraged a whole range of opportunities for the pupils who attended and benefited from the school.

But, fancy this at the sixty year celebrations of the founding of the school. I am delighted with the numbers of people who have already indicated their intention to attend the Reunion Weekend in October. The planning is well advanced and some will be making huge journeys to be there. I hope that others will be encouraged to attend either for the whole weekend or for the Reunion Dinner or just to drop in for a short time and be part of the Old Michaelian  Family.

Stories will be told, reminiscences exchanged, the extraordinary photographic exhibition examined once again and we should all be properly grateful to the Chairman and his Committee Members who put in so much time to organise this annual event.

Of course, it will be something special this year. I very much hope that some of the original pupils who helped make St. Michael's School into the school it became, will also be able to attend our big party in October. Nevertheless, I am extremely confident that we will see representatives present at our Reunion from, not only all corners of the World, but from every decade of the school's existence'.

We very much look forward to seeing you in Hunstanton at the end of October to celebrate this milepost for all Old Michaelian's - even for those of us who were not born in 1946!!
