WHOS

The Woodville High School Old Scholars Association exists for past WHS students and friends in continuing their connection with their old school and its history. Its purpose is to provide a means to meet and celebrate their school memories, reminiscing experiences of it through events and gatherings.
Currently the Association runs approximately three events during each year including an Annual Dinner, luncheons and excursions. The Woodville High School Old Scholars Association was reformed in 1991 and has continued to thrive since then. Newsletters are sent throughout each year to almost 500 recipients, and its financial membership ($20/year) provides the main source of income to the Association. The Association generously supports the school through annual donations and is active in supporting the schools programmes. |

Old Scholar badges for sale The Old Scholars Association has produced badges for members and supporters. These will go on sale at our Annual Dinner for $5 each. Wear them proudly on your lapel or blouse when out and about. They will be a conversation starter! Historical pavers laid The Old Scholars have partnered with the school to lay a second round of pavers for former teachers, students and officers along the Leslie Street frontage. These were laid during the July 2023 school holidays. They provide another reminder of our rich School history. Thanks to members who ordered a paver for your patience while this project was completed.
