WHOBA Summer Luncheon 2024

We were delighted to welcome Old Boys back to the school, to what is now an established highlight of the WHOBA calendar, the summer luncheon.

Old Boys from across the decades congregated on the headmaster’s lawn before embarking on a quick tour of the school. A visit to the old boarding houses in Woodbourne is always popular and prompts many an anecdote!

We were then all treated to a lovely lunch prepared by our in house catering team. Old Boys enjoyed trying to spot themselves in the photos that adorn the walls in the dining room.

Finally, we were treated to a spectacular musical concert by current and “very recent” Old Boys which exceeded all expectations. We recommend that you start following the musical careers of teenagers Isaac, Ryan, Yilin and Ming!

Thank you to all the WHOBA boys who attended and shared their memories with us.

Please look out for details of next year’s luncheon.

Before the memory of yesterday starts to fade I did want to drop you a few lines to say what a wonderful success I thought the day was and how much I enjoyed it.

I just wished to express our thanks to Mr Lyttle and his whole team for giving us such an enjoyable day yesterday......You can imagine the impact our visit had on me personally. Experiencing my first return to WHS since leaving in 1957, a mere 67 years ago!
