WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Aparima College is celebrating its 50th Anniversary since its name change from Riverton District High School
back in 1974.
2024 marks the colleges 51st year. Due to circumstances outside our control, it was not possible to promote and host a reunion in such a turbulent travel and health environment. When school starts in Feb 2025 it will
begin the 52nd year of the College.
The College reunion will be a gathering, where people associated with the school will come together to reconnect as old friends and classmates.
Reminisce about school days and catch up on each other people’s lives. See how class mates have grown and
changed since the school days, share old memories and stories.
Celebrate the bonds formed during those formative years and reflect on shared experiences which helped shape who we are today. A nostalgic and heartwarming reunion bringing people together in a collective spirit of camaraderie and friendship.
Create new memories with old friends, and experience the unique chance to acknowledge the synergy of classmates and how they helped form our school years.
Introduce old classmates to new partners and families.
Riverton Primary was of course formed at the same time as the College. 1974.
There are many students who
have attended the Primary school but did not continue on to the local college due to specific education needs, or who left the area.
