Capturing a Moment in Time: LBC Turns 50

To mark a milestone half a century in the making, Long Bay College recently brought its entire student and staff community together to form a “LBC 50” on the school field, a powerful image of unity, pride, and history in the making.

Careful planning and behind the scenes coordination went into creating this unforgettable moment. From mapping out the design to organising logistics for close to 2,000 students, it was a team effort that showcased the spirit of collaboration LBC is known for.

This historic photo is more than just a celebration of 50 years — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime memory our current students will carry with them forever, knowing they were part of something truly special.

As we continue to honour this major milestone, we invite you to celebrate with us at the Long Bay College 50th Anniversary Gala Dinner — a special reunion event to reflect on five decades of memories, connection, and community.

Saturday, 25 October 2025
7:00 PM
North Shore Golf Club, 15 Appleby Road, Auckland

Let’s celebrate 50 years of excellence, friendships, and future possibilities — proudly, Long Bay College.
