2023 Grand Reunion

The 2023 Grand Reunion will be held on Saturday, 28th October at 6.30pm, and for the first time will be held at McKinnon Secondary College East Campus! 

The Grand Reunion will encompass ex-students and staff of McKinnon from the following years: 1963, 1968, 1973, 1978, 1983, 1993, 2003, 2013 and 2018.

We are also pleased to announce we will be inviting the classes of 2000 and 2001 who had to miss out on their 10 year reunion due to covid lockdowns. We aim to include those year levels who missed out due to covid over the next couple of years. Unfortunately, it's impossible to include all catch-ups in one year. Thank you for your understanding.

We would love your support and encourage you to share the information with old classmates and attend this great night! 

For more information and to book tickets, please visit the TryBooking link here 

We hope to see you there!
