St Joseph's School Ōpunakē 125th Jubilee
Location
About
Join us for a truly special evening as we celebrate 125 years of faith, learning, friendship and community at St Joseph’s School, Ōpunakē.
Our Jubilee Dinner will be a memorable occasion, bringing together past and present students, staff, families, parishioners and friends who have all played a part in the story of St Joseph’s. For 125 years, our school has been at the heart of the community, nurturing generations of young people and creating connections that have stood the test of time. This evening is an opportunity to honour that legacy while celebrating the bright future that lies ahead.
From the moment the doors open, guests will be invited to reconnect with old friends, share treasured memories and reflect on the many milestones that have shaped our school. Historical photographs, memorabilia displays and stories from across the decades will provide a unique glimpse into the rich history of St Joseph’s and the people who have made it such a special place.
The evening will feature a delicious shared dinner, speeches acknowledging our past and present, a fundraising auction supporting future generations of St Joseph’s students and live entertainment to keep the celebrations going well into the night. Whether your connection to the school spans decades or just a few years, you will be among friends as we celebrate the enduring spirit of our St Joseph’s whānau.
A cash bar will be available throughout the evening (drinks not included in the ticket price).
