Alumni Evening & Tour

From 1980 to 2025!

Our first Alumni evening was a huge success with former teachers and students reuniting from past decades. We had teachers and students attend who started with the College in 1980 and it was very special having former Principals Terry Bennett, Sue Bell and Kevin Murphy share their memories from when they led the school, and special guests Annette Webster, Beryl Birrell and Andrew Lewis present to add interesting historic details on the tours. 

The College tours invoked delighted walks down memory lane and remarks about how the College has grown and changed. A highlight of the evening was the connections made between peers and teachers.

Instrumental Music student, Melody Chen, provided live music on the piano and, along with the 2025 College Captains, helped to make it a memorable evening.

Here is some of the feedback we had about the event:

"Thank you for arranging this opportunity where my Dad (Mr Fernando) could meet with his old colleagues and students. He was moved to tears by students telling him how much he meant to them. It was a fantastic night and it meant so much to an 85 year old man! Thanks Wantirna College!" 

~ Mr Fernando’s daughter, Cath

"Thank you for a wonderful evening. It was fantastic to see how our school has developed and to be able to reconnect with other alumni, and especially to see many of our teachers."

~ Narelle Whiteley

"It was great to see some of our old teachers after so many years." ~ Anthony Callanan

We are looking forward to hosting another Alumni event in Term 4 and hope to build on the great momentum we have started. If you wish to join our Alumni community, please visit our website.
