2026 marks 50 years since Medina High School first opened in 1976. To celebrate this anniversary, former student Jon Goldsmith is organising a reunion weekend, bringing together former students and members of staff from across the decades to reconnect, share memories and celebrate everything that has made Medina such a special part of the Island community.

The reunion evening will take place on Saturday 11 July 2026 at GG's Bar & Restaurant, Newport, with an evening of music, food, conversation and fundraising for charity. Everyone who has attended or worked at Medina High School/Medina College is warmly invited to take part.

 Medina College will also be opening its doors to former students and staff, giving visitors the opportunity to look around the school, revisit familiar places and see how the site has evolved over the years. We are delighted to welcome visitors to the school during the evening on Friday 10 July and the morning on Saturday 11 July.

 Over the years, Medina has played an important role in the lives of thousands of young people, creating lifelong friendships and lasting memories. We hope this anniversary provides a wonderful opportunity for our former students and colleagues to come together and celebrate the school's rich history.

 If you would like to find out more or register your interest in attending, please contact organiser Jon Goldsmith via Facebook, email jgpompey@yahoo.co.uk or call 07876 758790.

 We look forward to seeing members of the Medina family celebrating this landmark anniversary together.
