Whanganui Collegiate School Football Supporters Club
The “beautiful game“ was successfully introduced to Whanganui Collegiate School by Mr Alec McNab in 1973.
Football at WCS caters for all students, and is participated in by both WCS domestic and international students.
Football at the school also enjoys a unique and special connection with its WCS Old Boys community in that it is the only winter sport at Whanganui Collegiate that has an enduring and continuous annual Old Boys fixture which started in 1978 and in 2017 celebrated its 40th game .
In July 2017 the official WCS Football Supporters Club was created and an executive committee elected.
The purpose of the Whanganui Collegiate School Supporters Club is to promote, help run and support WCS with its football programme and to put in place a sustainable entity that will give our students the best opportunities possible to participate in an inclusive and dynamic football experience at WCS. An experience that provides both a greater enjoyment of the game but also provides pathways for development for those that seek them.
The structure of the supporters club committee mirrors that of other very successful WCS sports supporters clubs in that it has a President, Secretary and a Treasurer, along with a group of passionate and supportive parents and Old Boys.
