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.

How awesome is this! Tommy Satchwell and his class of 1977 🌳

In 1973, Tommy Satchwell and his class, led by Mrs May, planted a Natal Mahogany sapling in the matric quad at Woodridge College. As days turned into years, the tree rooted itself firmly in the earth, its branches stretching wide and high. It flourished, offering shade from the blazing sun during long school days. Time passed, seasons changed, and while generations of students came and went, the tree remained a silent witness to their laughter, their memories, and the passage of time. In 1977, Tommy and his classmates matriculated, leaving behind the tree and the school that had shaped so much of their youth.
Life carried them far and wide, and the tree remained steadfast as an emblem of new beginnings and the place they once called home. Decades later, Tommy returned to Woodridge and immediately spotted the mighty tree he had helped to plant all those years ago. No longer a fragile sapling, it stood tall and proud, with its branches swaying gently, whispering stories of the past and sheltering the present.
Filled with nostalgia and pride, Tommy ran his hand along the rough bark. The tree was a living legacy of time, patience, and hope, reflecting his journey and those of countless others who had found comfort beneath its branches...rooted deeply, flourishing gloriously, and continuing to inspire all who walked beneath its shade.
