In the Photograph from L to R are some of the Leavers of the Class of 1999: Guy Niewoudt (WH) - Franci de Plessis (WH) - John Catlin (GH) - Evan Faull (GH) - Scott Henderson (GH) - Robert Parring (OH) - David Nel (FH) - Chris Haw (FH) - Spiros Malamoglou (FH) - Sean Flanagan (OH) - Myles Brown (WH) - Chris Alheit (OH) - Nic Stanford (FH) - Christian-Luandino Castro (SH) - Wayne Hall (OH) - Thomas-Ignaas Van Poucke (OH) -  Alistair Price HoS - and Haldane Luscombe (WH).

The Leavers were taken on a 2.45 hr tour of the College starting at the War Memorial Chapel constructed in 1926 in honour of the 112 Bishops men who fell fighting pro fide et patria.
 
 

From there, we visited the Molteno Library which is the schools recently upgraded Resources Centre. 

Then we walked to the Steffan Coutts-Trotter Indoor cricket centre, and then from there we visited the Theatre, Founders Quad and after that proceeded to the Brooke Chapel for the final leg.
 
 
  

All along the way the ODs enjoyed this special time together remeniscing about their past experiences at Bishops.
