Nineteen girls - all from the class which began kindergarten 55 years ago at St Joseph's School in 1964 - gathered for the event.
The girls went on to finish what was then known as 4th Form 45 years ago in 1974 - at St Pius X (now St Paul's) in Kempsey.
"We have all recently turned 60 so it was time to celebrate," said Pauline Cain, now a drama and English teacher at MacKillop College, Port Macquarie.
"We toured both schools on the Friday and then a few of us had dinner and drinks at the RSL. On the Saturday we had lunch at the Garden Bar and Kitchen in Frederickton followed by drinks at the hotel next door. And on the Sunday some of us met for coffee at the Markets in Gladstone."

Attendees travelled from as far away as Perth, Townsville and Melbourne.
"We shared lots of stories and memories. We remembered Dianne Gray, Elizabeth Tester and Frances Hudson from our class, who have passed away," Ms Cain said.
"The Macleay Valley was sparkling and so too were we."
