This Saturday night, ex St Joseph’s School Stanthorpe students are gathering at Anna’s Restaurant to celebrate 50 years since their grade 10 year in 1972.

Mary-Anne de Verteuil organised the event with three other people from her former class, and she said that she’s excited for the catch up.

“The three of us who organised it found out we lived in close proximity to each other in Brisbane,” Mary-Anne said.

“We didn’t have much to do with each other or the other people attending on Saturday, so we’re interested to hear their stories.”

Although Mary-Anne now lives in Brisbane, she was born and raised in Stanthorpe and will be returning to her roots this weekend alongside 20 of her former classmates.
