Spokesman and ex-student, Garry Dutaillis, said the main dinner on Saturday night was booked out but interested people could attend 'meet and greets' at the Club throughout Friday and on Sunday morning. Former students from Goulburn, Queensland, Tasmania and other parts of the country are expected to attend.
The Christian Brothers' operated school opened in Verner Street in the early 1930s and closed in 1965. It encompassed primary and secondary classes. Mr Dutaillis, a retired architect, attended from 1961 to 1963.
He has fond memories of his time there, including some of its characters like teacher Wally Streeter and Brother Matt McKeon, the school's last principal. Brother McKeon is 96 and now lives in Brisbane.

"It was a very sports oriented school with strong teams in hockey, rugby league and cricket," Mr Dutaillis said.
The reunions have been going for five years in Mount Tamborine, where some of the organisers live, and in Goulburn.
Anyone wishing to attend this weekend can call Mr Dutaillis on 0407 297 247.
