Alumni 2013 From the Director of Development Welcome to the first ever Alumni magazine for Kinross Wolaroi School. This is a very proud moment for myself, the KWS Development team and the Ex-students’ Association as we publish and bring to you this wonderful leading edition. You may wonder why I have chosen the word Alumni for the title of the magazine, as opposed to just Ex-students, or another witty header. With the word Alumni, we include and capture every member of the entire KWS community, spanning 127 years, 4 different schools, and tens of thousands of community members. This annually produced magazine will cover stories and news from current students, ex-students, school family members, and more. It will provide you with information on upcoming events, and ways you can involve yourself and contribute to the life of the school that you and your families gave so much to. The format and content will no doubt evolve as years go by, and the mailing list for those receiving the magazine will expand as word spreads of this new initiative. My role as Director of Development sees me working with prospective enrolling families, new students, current school pupils, parents and members of the extended school family. These include the Foundation and other school supporters, past parents and of course ex-students from all four schools that have come together to build what we believe is arguably the strongest (and best) co-educational boarding and day school in Australia. Truly, the word ‘Alumni’ fits what we are all about. I would especially like to mention the work of the Ex-students’ Association and the support they provide for many areas of the school. In these pages, you will read of initiatives that have been established as Development and the ex-students collaborate. These include a new scholarship for the benefit of children of Ex-students, as well as the Associations’ donations to everyday happenings in the Tutor Houses and the Prep School. The Executive of the Association are generous and hardworking and the selfless giving of their time is appreciated. If you are a ‘local’ Alumni, I would encourage you to renew your involvement with the KWS Ex-students’ Association. I hope you enjoy reading this magazine. It will be published again in the New Year and in February every year after that. Once a year, you will receive this magazine in place of an edition of the KWS colour magazine, but you will receive the other two editions of the KWS Magazine as per normal. Contributions are welcomed, as is your support with any of the great fundraising initiatives or events mentioned within. I hope to have the pleasure of your company at the first Annual Alumni Dinner on Saturday, November 2nd, another very exciting enterprise. Tickets are well priced for what promises to be a superb evening of socialising and entertainment – with everyone from the school family warmly invited! Please feel free to contact me at any time. Kind regards, Paul Tierney, Director of Development. Front Cover: Angus Williams (‘13) and Martin Williams (‘75). For the full story, see page 11 1
