Kinross Wolaroi Golden Alumni making up for lost time

Former students of Kinross Wolaroi School are bound for Orange in May for the first Golden Alumni Luncheon the school has held since 2020.

The normally annual Golden Alumni Luncheons are celebrations for ex-students who graduated 50 years ago or more. It’s a chance for people to catch up with old classmates and fondly reminisce about days in the schoolyard.

“This is our first opportunity to gather since 2020, because of Covid,” Golden Alumni Luncheon coordinator, Harriet Alker said. “And so we will be celebrating anyone who missed out and particularly celebrate the classes of 1971, 1972 and 1973.”

Taking place on May 18, the program of events begins with a morning tour of the PLC (Presbyterian Ladies’ College) campus and a morning tea hosted by the Principal’s wife, Mrs Jo Parry. There will also be a tour of the Wolaroi campus where there will be a display of archival photos and memorabilia in the school auditorium. Buses will then be available to transport former students to the Golden Alumni Luncheon, which is being hosted at the Orange Ex-Services Club.

Those attending can join in for all or part of the scheduled events, Harriet said, adding that each year group will automatically be seated together at the luncheon although you can also make seating requests when booking your ticket.

Tickets for the Golden Alumni Luncheon can be found at events.humanitix.com/golden-alumni-2023-luncheon Bookings close on May 7, 2023.

Harriet urged anyone with questions or concerns about the event to call her on (02) 5319 0321 or email halker@kws.nsw.edu.au

“We look forward to seeing you all for a fun day of reconnecting and reminiscing.”
