Homecoming provides an opportunity for all alumni to return to Avondale College of Higher Education to once again enjoy the Avondale experience. Homecoming specfically honours alumni who studied at Avondale 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 years ago; but is open to all former staff and students. While honour year reunions are the focus, Homecoming also includes shared meals, worship services and a concert.

The honour years for Homecoming 2015 are 1945, 1955, 1965, 1975, 1985, 1995 and 2005. So, if one of these years was your last as either a staff member or student at Avondale, Homecoming 2015 is specifically for you. Encourage your family and friends to join you for the weekend.

We look forward to seeing you at Homecoming in 2015! It just won’t be the same without you.
