We are guests of our hosts, the Ursuline College therefore BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL so that we and they are aware in advance of who will be attending. We need to know numbers by MONDAY 3rd July so we cannot guarantee any bookings after that time, so please book early!
The Ursuline Alumnae and Old Augustinians will be giving £300 each towards the costs of the day. It will of course cost a lot more and we would encourage all attendees to consider contributing financially not only towards the cost of the event but to support students in their project work. If you can't attend, then donations are still welcome. All donations can be made online via our website.
We are all committed to support today's Catholic Secondary Schools in Thanet, just as we were supported by our alumni when we were at school. This is why we support our successor school, the Ursuline College so that today's generation of students benefit as we did in our time.
So, we do hope you will be able to attend this, Summer Reunion and encourage your old school friends to do the same.
