YOU ARE INVITED TO WILLY HIGH SCHOOL … Birthdays and wedding anniversaries come around every year. Centenary celebrations only happen every 100 years. You wouldn’t want to miss that! Williamstown High School is celebrating its centenary as a state high school this year. As part of those yearlong celebrations the WHS Ex-Students and Staff Association is hosting the “Back to WHS” weekend on 28-29 March 2015 at the Pasco St campus. All former students, staff and friends of WHS are welcome. Come and take a walk through the school, see what has changed and what has stayed the same, catch up with your old friends and look through the collections of old photos and memorabilia. The school will be open from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm each day but the centenary assembly will be at 1:00 pm on Saturday 28th. WHSESSA has recently published “HOLDING FAST Williamstown High School 1867-2014”.
This outstanding book details the history of education at the Pasco St campus. It is our gift to WHS on its centenary. The book will be on sale for $40 at the event. WHSESSA is always on the lookout for photos and memorabilia relating to the history of WHS. If you have any old items of school uniform, report cards, photos, needlework or woodwork project items from your days at WHS we would love to hear from you. Or bring them along on the day. If you went to WHS, or know any-one who did, please pass on this invitation. None of us are likely to be here for the next centenary celebrations so we don’t want you to miss out!! For more information please contact Fred Cumming at whsessa@gmail.com or Iris Whitehurst by phone on 9397-7695.
