Celebrating 100 Years of Life & Learning at LWC
n November 1922, Alfred Beckwith (Pupil No 1) walked through the Acorn Gates of Lord Wandsworth College on the Long Sutton site and brought Sydney James Stern’s amazing Legacy to life. This legacy has had such a positive impact on so many lives, over 2500 Foundationers have walked through those gates in our first 100 years. As we approach our special anniversary, we are thrilled to be able to share some of our exciting plans with you. We do hope that you and your families will be able to join us at different points throughout the year to help us celebrate our Centenary. There will be our usual programme of Sternian gatherings, sporting events and careers activities across the year, of course, but we also hope you can join in with some of our Centenary specific events too. Three of our key events are highlighted below, with information on other initiatives to follow over the coming months that might include the likes of a Headmaster’s Challenge, classic car/motorbike tour weekend etc. In addition, we will be launching a number of products including a range of prints, an LWC Gin and a variety of merchandise to mark the occasion.
This is your centenary, is there anything you would love to be included? We welcome your input. Please contact us at lwc100@lordwandsworth.org
