1984 leavers – June 15, 2024 reunion!

At the Carol Service in Craigmillar Park Church in December 2023, six of the 1984 leavers met and started to hatch a cunning plan! They realised that in 2024, it was 40 years since they left St. Margaret’s!

The Class of 1984 had an incredible reunion on Saturday June 15, 2024. It was quite a shock to realise it’s been 40 years (even longer for those who left before the end of sixth year) since many of us last saw each other. Name badges with maiden names were a must for some, but honestly, most people hadn’t changed a bit! We even had photos to prove it! A panama hat, beret and tie from those days have stood the test of time, but what truly endured were the friendships and memories. We reminisced about our antics, teachers, and some things that might be best forgotten. We even sang the school song (although it was high for some)! Huge thanks to Rhona (McNicol) and Christine (Evans) for organizing the evening. Let’s make sure we don’t wait so long to do this again!
