Key Events 2024

• Blue and White Ball
• Heritage Round
• Eddies Golf Day

We are excited to bring you four major events again this year with the support of the College. Everyone within the Eddies community is invited to these events, which are a great opportunity to get involved in the community, as well as meet new people. This year the Blue & White Ball and Heritage Round/Reunion Day will be held on the same weekend –  a great opportunity for the Eddies community to come together at both events.

Please note as with all Old Boys & Friends Association events, a portion of funds raised is donated to those in need through the College Foundation. For further information on these events please email the college at development@sec.act.edu.au.
