Ex-student Association Report

The KWS Ex-Students association has kicked back into gear for 2021. The AGM was held in Early May and the committee remained the same as 2020. Efforts still continue to attract new people to help the committee and if you live locally we would love to see you at one of our general meetings held each term. The committee for 2021 are;

President – Jarrod Rose Vice President – Olivia West Vice President – Matt Payne Treasurer – Chris Oldroyd Secretary - vacant

Re-unions have been discussed and are in planning for later in the year. We decided to push them back which will give us the opportunity to have as many people as possible attend. Unfortunately we are still having to run any event under restrictions on numbers due to COVID safe rules.

We are looking forward to a morning tea in term 4 for alumni to meet the new Head of the Junior school and would love to see as many current ex-student parents, both current and prospective to come and meet the head and look at the Junior school.

A new CRM has been has been introduced into the school, and we are fortunate to have been given the opportunity to use this. It will give all alumni the opportunity to engage themselves with the school, check that details the school has are correct and a great platform for us to engage with you. The system has a mentoring platform as well as a business platform. It will further develop our communication with you and lead to better engagement in both directions. 2022 is already in the planning and with the cancelation of so many events in Newcastle and Wollongong in 2020 due to COVID we expect too start there. Any events are of interest and if you have any ideas and would also like to help organise an event please let us know.

Lastly our reach is only as good as our database and quite often there are errors. Please make sure your details are correct with us and if you know of any alumni friends that are not hearing from us let them know to get in touch so we can correct that. Our email address is ex-students@kws.nsw.edu.au. We would love to hear of any news from any Alumni, near and far.

Please don’t forget we want you to come to meetings and get involved. There isn’t a great amount to do and a very friendly committee to be a part of •
