Upcoming Events
Annual "60 Years On" Luncheon
The Long Lunch - 3rd Edition
Limited to 80 tickets, the OBA Long Lunch is back for it's third edition and we are delighted to welcome Old Boy Jake Bailey as our Guest Speaker.
Jake first caused a global sensation aged 18, when his prize-giving speech as head boy at Christchurch Boys’ High School went viral. A week before this speech, Jake was diagnosed with the most aggressive form of cancer known to man and given two weeks to live if this went untreated. Jake persevered to give his speech from a wheelchair, the video of which went on to touch the hearts of tens of millions and draw praise from across the globe.
Today Jake is an internationally acclaimed educator on resilience, the youngest #1 bestselling author in New Zealand history, and as a Commonwealth Study Conference alumnus has been recognised as one of the most promising emerging leaders across the Commonwealth.
