Blast from the Past 2.0 is back – and you’re invited.
Join us for an unforgettable evening at Shirley Boys’ High School as we bring together our Old Boys’ community for a night of connection, conversation, and a few well-retold stories. Whether it’s been a couple of years or a couple of decades, this is your chance to step back through the gates and reconnect with the people and memories that shaped your time at SBHS. 

What to expect on the night
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed into a relaxed, social atmosphere with a complimentary drink on arrival, nibbles, and a bar available throughout the evening. Hear from Headmaster Tim Grocott as he shares his perspective as both an Old Boy and the current leader of the school, enjoy the energy of MC James Daniels, and take in a lineup of engaging guest speakers (to be announced soon). Most importantly, there’ll be plenty of time to catch up with old mates and make new connections. 

Why you don’t want to miss it
Our last event saw over 200 Old Boys come together for a fantastic night – and the feedback was simple: we need more of this. With limited capacity and strong interest already building, we encourage you to secure your spot early. This is more than just an event – it’s about strengthening the Old Boys’ network and keeping the SBHS spirit alive
