We are delighted to invite you to the Sacred Heart College Class of 1965 – 60-Year Reunion, a special celebration to reconnect, reminisce, and reflect on the legacy you helped create.

This reunion is not only a chance to gather with old friends, but also an opportunity to visit the current home of Damascus College, which many of you may never have seen. While the campus is new, the values and spirit of Sacred Heart College and our Mercy values continue to live on within it — and your story remains at the heart of ours.

We encourage you to share this invitation with any classmates you’re still in touch with. The more people we reach, the more special the weekend will be.

Reunion groups are named by their final year, which is the year a student did or would have completed Year 12 or equivalent. For example if you left SHC in Year 10 (Form 4) in 1983, your graduating year would have been 1985 - therefore you are part of the Class of 1985.

2025 Reunions - Memory Boards

To help celebrate each cohort's special "Class of" reunion we encourage you to share with us your photographs so that they can be included in the digital memory boards being created. Please email your scanned photo to Damascus College Archivist
