Some friendships made during school days last forever and many ex students of Suva Grammar school are testimony of this as they reminisce of the good old days during the 50th Golden Jubilee celebrations which got under yesterday.
We spoke to Wayne O'Connor from class of 62 to 69 who recalled starting at Suva Grammar when it was located along Vitoria Parade till the day it was made a co-ed school and relocated to Veiuto.
O'Connor said it great to see how far the school has come and how he has made lifelong friends through Grammar.
Class of 1970's Chandra Sharma who travelled from Perth to be part of the celebrations said it’s great to see the school again.
Losana Ah Yuk from the Class of 79, who is also one of the founders of the Ex Grammar students Association, was emotional after seeing some former class mates.
