Old Woodridgean Association

Old Woodridgean Association Woodridge College & Preparatory School Alumni This appeal worked and the association reformed under a name change. The aim is to sell 500 tickets each year.

In 1958 several Woodridge Prep alumni held an inaugural general meeting to form the Woodridge Old Boys Association (WOBA) after attempting to contact the 300 or so past pupils. Their main objectives were to organise reunions and sports meetings, have old-boy representation on the Board of Trustees, assist pupils in need where necessary and for old boys to maintain friendships formed at the Prep. B

y 1963 the editor noted in the school magazine that ; “For the past few year the Woodridge Old Boys Association has been, to all intents and purposes, non- existent.” and appealed to all old boys to support them. They became the Old Woodridgeans Association (OWA) which worked well especially once the school began accepting female students. To date the OWA’s major fundraising initiative has been the 500 Club which hold lucky draws 3 times a year and give prizes of R25 000, 00; R7 500, 00 at each draw, as well as attendance prizes and lucky draws.

What a brilliant evening last night when some of our old boys & girls teamed up against the Woodridge Water Polo players.
The Old girls drew 6-6 against the Woodridge 1st team girls, and after playing penalties, our old girls won 🥳!
Our old boys played a fantastic game, but well done to the Woodridge 1st team boys who beat them 7-5👏.

A huge thank you to coach and College teacher, Dan Ward, for putting a super good fixture together🤩. It was awesome.

WOW! Have a look at this 👇! During the December school holidays, the Woodridge Foundation took it upon themselves to help bring water safety to our community 🩵. A qualified swimming instructor was hired to teach the children how to swim and be safe near water. They had such an amazing time and we are looking forward to some refresher lessons that will take place during the school holidays in March ☺️. #Swimming4Safety
