Centenary celebrations have helped the College welcome back many old friends to join in the festivities and reminisce about their time at Wesley. On October 4th, 2017, we welcomed back our former Senior Students, with those able to attend pictured above. The highlight of the celebrations was the Centenary Ball and Cocktail Party also held in October – please see page 65 for a report on this wonderful event.
