Alumni Open Day
Camp Hill Boys School has grown over the past 140 years from just 3 form groups to the current community of over 900 students.
Each year we wish our Year 13 students a fond farewell as they progress onto university or their first steps of their careers. And whilst we encourage them to look forward and enjoy every moment of their new lives, we also hope that they will stay in touch with us. Therefore, the Camp Hill Boys family of students (past and present) is now in excess of 600 individuals from across the world.
To commemorate this outstanding achievement, Camp Hill Boys invited their alumni to attend an open day on Saturday 8 June. During the day the doors to the main building were thrown open to welcome its guests and within moments the air was abuzz with excitement as familiar faces poured in.
Camp Hill Boys students, along with staff past and present were greeted with handshakes, hugs and general high pitch fervour as stories were regaled of each individuals’ time at school. Some of the mischievousness and humour of these teenagers’ pasts were still evident as they toured the school buildings, peeked behind closed doors, reminiscing on lessons, school trips and maybe the odd detention.
The tours included the sports hall, swimming pool and sixth form centre which was lauded for its great spaces and well-appointed rooms. Visitors were encouraged to sign-up for the Camp Hill Boys Alumni group on the school webpage.
It was truly touching to see the glow of happiness amongst everyone as they reconnected in such familiar surroundings. It is certain that Camp Hill Boys will not leave it so long until everyone is invited to meet again. The world doesn’t seem such a large place after all.
