The Friends of Brighton Secondary School Committee

The Friends of Brighton Secondary School is a committee which was set up in 1997 to foster links between the current school and past students, staff and friends of the three founding schools.

At our recent AGM, it was decided by the committee that due to insufficient patronage annual reunions will cease. Looking forward, the committee has adopted a new focus 2007 - planning for the school's Diamond 60th Anniversary in 2012. We are always looking for people to help on the Committee, and if you would like to be involved, we meet approximately once per school term.
