A truly once-in-a-century milestone

Wishing Farrer Old Boy Neil Kemmis a very happy 100th birthday.

Neil’s life reflects extraordinary service and commitment to the local community. As a first-generation Farrer student from the 1939 class and an original Golden Oldie (with the fourth generation now attending), he has made a lasting impact as a Gunnedah Councillor, Deputy Mayor, Bushfire Brigade Captain, and recipient of the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM).

Neil continues to embrace new adventures, including his first helicopter ride at 99 years young!

What an incredible milestone.

Congratulations and happy 100th birthday, Neil!

Choosing the right school for your son is very important. The best way to decide if Farrer is a good fit is by exploring our campus and talking directly with our team. We invite you to book a tour of the school, ask lots of questions and see first-hand what we have to offer your son and your family. We look forward to meeting you.
