The Wellington College Old Boys’ Association was founded to:
- Further the interests of Wellington College and its past and present members and to keep former students in touch with each other and with the school.
- Maintain a register of names of all who have passed through the College since 1867 and endeavour to record the addresses of all those alive.
- Arrange reunions and other functions for Old Boys.
- Support current students at the College where needed.
These aims are met by the Association undertaking the following tasks:
- Production of The Lampstand each year, covering activities of Old Boys and other relevant information.
- Maintenance of a computerised database giving details of all Old Boys of the College including teaching staff. This includes addresses where known. The Executive Officer will release addresses to bona fide Old Boys but will not allow any access for commercial purposes.
- Provision of financial support for College activities including sporting and cultural activities, sponsorship and academic prizes as well as supporting the Archives.
- Organisation or assistance with various reunions or other social functions either at the College, nationwide or internationally for Old Boys which the Association wishes to encourage and extend.
- Administration of charitable funds managed by the Association for current and past students including assistance with fundraising appeals.
The WCOBA is situated at Wellington College and is run by the Association’s Executive Officer throughout the year. Communication can be made by telephone, post mail, email or facsimile.
