Together Across the Decades

Whether you walked the halls in the early days of Downlands, basked in the camaraderie of the ’50s and ’60s, rode the winds of change in the ’70s and ’80s (introduction of day boys and Senior girls in Years 11 & 12), settled the school into a fully coeducational program ’80s and '90s or graduated in the digital era (since 2000), this space is for you. Each of you represents a unique thread in the tapestry of Downlands’ history, and together, you embody a legacy that spans generations.
