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. |

2025 AGM
February 2025
MARCH 2025 AGM: SUPPORT YOUR ASSOCIATION AGM 18 March 2025 Accompanying this Newsletter is formal notice of our AGM on 18 March 2025. We are seeking three new nominations for the Association committee. This is because at least three long-standing members will be unable to continue due to overseas and interstate transfers, and ill health. This includes me, your President. From April 2025 I will be relocating back to the eastern States and unable to continue my work for the Association after a period of seven years on the committee and the last six as President. Back in 2018 our Immediate Past President Brian Marsland made an urgent call for a renewed committee, warning that the Association may need to be put in recess and informally organise an Annual Dinner only if not refreshed. We come to that point again. Given our very positive year of activities in 2024 and strong partnership with the school, that is an outcome we must do our very best to avoid. Direct your interest to myself or Secretary Di Cocks. Vale, Kevin Howard It is with great sadness I report that loyal Association member and long-serving auditor Kevin Howard passed away on 24 December 2024, after a battle with cancer. Many of us treasured Kevin’s company at dinners and functions with his wit, smile and friendly banter. I was honoured to represent the Association at Kevin’s memorial service at Victor Harbor on 20 January 2025 along with Vice President Frank Schirripa and Treasurer Marco Monti. Kevin was part of the renewal of the Association in the early 1990’s. He voluntarily gave of his financial acumen as our auditor for the last thirty years. We already miss him. Get well, Lois Our longest serving member and much-loved committee stalwart Lois Daviess, a former scholar of the 1940’s and now well into her nineties, recently had a fall and is convalescing locally. We have lifted her spirits with visits and wish Lois a full recovery. School activities We ended 2024 with great support for and from the school and its graduating students. With the 2025 year already in full swing, the school extends an invitation to all to the opening of its Cyber Security Resource Centre by State Minister Blair Boyer at 9.15am Monday 10 February 2025. I look forward to seeing you there. Peter Anderson President Scroll down to see the previous Newsletter |
