Organiser Elaine Pollock said it was the latest of several get-togethers over the years and was well attended again.
‘‘At the start it was mainly the girls who attended but in recent reunions the guys have joined in,’’ Ms Pollock, who has organised the reunions since 2001, said.
Former students from all part of Australia attended the reunion.
Glenys Thomson, who has come from the United States for most of them, was unable to attend this time.
On a sad note, one of the class of 1958 Ray Shuey, who was in the class when his policeman father was the Kyabram police boss at the time died recently.
Dr Shuey was a Vietnam veteran, a former Victoria Police officer and assistant commissioner for traffic and operations and had attended some past reunions.
