The Old Paradians’ Association is seeking alumni contributions for a book of biographies to be released in 2021 to mark the 150^th anniversary year of the College’s formal opening.

Commissioned by the Principal Andy Kuppe, the yet-to-be-titled tome – chronicling the life stories of former students in the wider community from 1871 to the present - is to be included on the Year 7 curriculum.

Whilst the stories of a number of the College’s greatest achievers will be documented within the book’s pages, the book itself doesn’t take the form of a “best of”, but rather a record of the trials and tribulations of Old Paradians in their adopted vocations, whether in education, law, medicine, militia, religion, science or trade.

If you have a story to contribute to the book of biographies, or know of an Old Paradian with a fascinating biographical tale to tell, please contact Tony De Bolfo at OPA Central at your earliest convenience on tdebolfo@parade.vic.edu.au

The deadline for contributions is September 30, with stories to be included in the publication at the discretion of the editor.
