Due to a donation from a generous alumnus, the archive has gained a copy of this lovely pocket-sized volume containing one hundred and three songs considered excellent tunes to sing in the early days of Selwyn College, including the college song! We've digitised it so older alumni can reminisce and younger alumni can look back and see how many songs they recognise! (Link takes you to a pdf)

Hello Selwyn College alumni! We've come across an envelope in the archive labelled "unidentified 1960s photos" - the seem to be a mix of sports teams and class photos. We've scanned them and are reaching out your collective knowledge for help with any information on what year they might be from, what class they might, and what exact sports team they might be showing. Any information you can give us would be invaluable in helping place them in the collection! Your help is very much appreciated.

This video was part of our morning celebration last Saturday. We hope you enjoy this short look at Selwyn College's 70 year history!

Thank you to everyone who attended our 70th celebrations yesterday - We had an overwhelming turnout. When we initially started planning the event, we were expecting between two and three hundred people, but between the two events, we had about five hundred people, put us at absolute capacity. It was an honour to see so many past students and teachers, including over twenty three foundation pupils, and hear all their wonderful memories of the school! We hope everyone who came enjoyed themselves - and that we'll see you, and anyone who missed out this time, at the next one!

The Selwyn College 70th Celebration is a month away and we've got almost 400 people registered to attend! It's free to attend, you just need to sign up via Humanitix so we know how many to expect! We'd love to see you there!

Asking for the wisdom of the alumni! We came across these photos in the archive but they aren't labelled. Can anyone remember what event they were from? It looks to be from the early 70s.

A very early aerial image of Selwyn College and its surrounds - you can see the school centered in the lower half of the image. Many of the buildings you may remember have not been built yet: only the main block and its wings exist, plus the technology block, the original drama/music block and the gym.
