Reunion for Woy Woy High

Former students of Woy Woy High School will join together for a school reunion celebration next month.

The event will involve a tour of the school, now known as Brisbane Water Secondary College Woy Woy Campus, followed by a get together over dinner at Everglades Country Club in Woy Woy.

Event coordinator Ms Julie Loaney-Brown said anyone who attended Woy Woy High School since its humble beginnings in 1962 was welcome to attend.

"Forty years ago, Woy Woy High School was a relatively young school," Ms Loaney-Brown said.

"Less than a decade before, secondary students would travel to Gosford or further.

"For a short period of two or three years, Woy Woy primary school became a central school until Woy Woy High was built.

"It is hard to believe that Woy Woy primary is over 120 years old but our first high school is not quite 50.

"Although the years have passed many of us still have vivid memories of attending that young high school.

"Some of us want to remember those days in a special get together.

"In 1968, only about a sixth of us continued to go from fourth form onto sixth form but many kept their friendships whether leaving for work or staying on at school.

"Some of us made friends with those a year or so above or behind our class.

"In 1970, approximately 50 of us finally graduated."

The event will be held on Thursday, July 17, with the school tour kicking off from 2pm at the school followed by the dinner from 6.30pm.
