REUNIONS COMEBACK

Milestone Reunion 2022 kicks off in-person alumni events!

After a two-year hiatus, it was heartwarming to welcome alumni back for gatherings starting with Reunion 2022 as it returned in person on 26 and 27 August 2022. The Alumni Reunion is an annual event for UWCSEA alumni celebrating their 10th, 20th, 25th, 30th, 35th, 40th and 45th anniversaries. Alumni often look forward to this event for a chance to return to Singapore and reconnect with classmates.

It was a weekend of reconnection for alumni from different milestone classes who came back to explore campus and share memories. Close to 200 alumni, family, friends and staff attended from 22 different countries. Our alumni were treated to an evening dinner at Tamarind Hill on Friday night, followed by a campus event on Saturday. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as they shared stories, explored the campus and reminisced about the special years they spent at UWCSEA Dover.

It was certainly a Reunion to remember.

“I’m so happy to be back to celebrate our 20th anniversary as UWC South East Asia alumni. What an amazing time connecting with old friends from around the globe – reliving memories and making new ones. This place changed my life.

Thank you UWC! The UWC movement moves on.”

Jakarta Alumni Get-together - 9 September 2022

This year we hosted our first face-to-face gathering with Jakarta-based alumni in over two years! It was wonderful to see alumni representing classes ranging from 19822012. Special thanks to Ashwin Bhat ’06 who volunteered his time to share his valuable UWCSEA experience as a former student with prospective families at a presentation by the Admissions team prior to the alumni gathering.

St John’s Visit - 14 November 2022

We welcomed back a special group of alumni to the Main Hall – the pioneer students of the Dover Campus building originally named St John’s Comprehensive School. Opened in September 1964, children of military families in Singapore attended up to 1970. It has been decades since their time in Singapore but the group of nearly 50 alumni remains connected, making the pilgrimage to Singapore every two years!

Holiday Alumni Reunion - 15 December 2022

Our Holiday Alumni Reunion gathering was the grand finale to our Founders’ Week celebration in December! We were joined by close to 80 alumni representing classes from 1981-2022, mingling, networking and catching up with one another over canapés and drinks at a beautiful restaurant inside the National Museum.

Bangkok get-together - 22 February 2023

It was a delight to be back to Thailand after several years – 28 alumni and former staff members joined us, making it our largest event in Bangkok to date! We want to extend our sincerest gratitude to alumnus Prab Thakral ’95, for being our sponsor and host for the evening. Special mention to James Dalziel, former Head of East Campus, and Lisa Hewitt, Former Head of Dover Middle School who were in attendance!
