Michael Sheather says they made a promise when they left school four decades ago that they would keep in touch.
"But as usual, life carried us to all parts of the country. So far, we have had a 20th and 30th year reunion, and this year, it is our 40th year since we left school," he said.
"Sadly, since we left, too many of us have passed away, so this year is extremely special. Most of us started school together in 1968-69 and have remained close friends ever since."
So if you finished Year 10 at Wauchope in 1979, join the gathering at Wauchope Country Club at 6pm on Saturday April 27.
