KOCHI: Nearly five decades after leaving the classrooms of St Teresa’s Convent Girls High School in Kochi, the ‘batch of 1976’ reunited on Tuesday for a heartfelt celebration of friendship and shared memories at their ‘Golden Get Together’.
The reunion marked 50 years since the batch graduated from the institution and brought together former classmates from different parts of India and abroad.
Of 115 alumni members, 85 attended the event. “It was an emotional return to the place that shaped our childhood and friendships,” said Sita Venkataraman, one of the organisers of the reunion. The batch donated 11 laptops to the school.
“This has been a big dream for us to contribute something meaningful to our school. We spoke to the school authorities and decided that donating laptops would be the most useful contribution we could make,” she added.
A major highlight of the event was a special ceremony honouring nine former teachers for their lasting contribution to the students’ academic and personal growth. The contribution was formally handed over to Headmistress Sr Danie.
