Recently, several ODs met in Brisbane, Queensland, to connect and engage.

The Branch Secretary, Gareth Davies, has been great in organising regular events and recently travelled to Sydney to join his class mates there, for a celebration with members of the Class of 1998 (see the article elsewhere on the ODU website).

The ODs met at the Breakfast Creek Hotel in November 2024.  

It is great seeing ODs connecting and engaging, from different parts of the world. We recently reported on OD gatherings in SEA, UAE, NY, Dallas, the UK, Sydney and a prior gathering in Brisbane.

Later this year we have a small gathering in Milan where the ODA will catch up with Lutho Cutshwa (2023W) and Paul McCabe (1993O).

Thanks to Gareth and the Brisbane ODs for sharing their experience and to ODs around the world for connecting and engaging with each other.

The year 2024 has been a major year (175) for the school, about which an article was posted elsewhere on the ODU website.

We are very excited going forward with very many events happening in the ODU in 2025.
