Alumni enjoy full-circle moment dropping off the Class of 2037

As a College committed to building community, it is extra-special when alumni return as parents. For Josh and Ash, watching their sons start Kinder together brought extra joy.

Hundreds of SPCC students play and learn at the place their parents did – and are even at times taught by the same teachers!

Today, alumni from across the graduating classes dropped off their children for the new academic year, marking the beginning of the 44th chapter in the history of SPCC.

Among the many touching moments, two alumni shared a particularly meaningful experience. In 1991, Josh Whiddon and Ashleigh Plimmer (formerly Finlay) began kindergarten together and today their sons began their kindergarten journey together.

Many returning alumni remark on how much the College has changed since their time as students, with new buildings and updated spaces. However, one thing that often stands out to them is how little the uniforms have changed over the years!
