The Wesleyana Club at Wesley College has been going strong for more than 55 years. President Patsy Russell-Lane first joined the Wesleyanas over 30 years ago, had a stint away, and then has served as President since 2014. We sat down with Patsy to learn more about this special group of friends who share a lifelong Wesley connection.
Tell us about the Wesleyanas
I believe that Wesley College is the only PSA school to have a club for mothers of former students. Being a Wesleyana member gives mothers the opportunity to remain connected to Wesley College long after their children have graduated. It is a special way to not only retain friendships but forge new ones.
What do you do at your meetings?
Six times a year we gather for an informal and friendly meeting over a delicious morning tea. Sometimes we have guest speakers or go on behind-the-scenes College tours. From virtual reality to art exhibitions, there is always something special happening at Wesley! The Wesleyana High Tea is a not-to-be missed event on our calendar!
Who can join?
The Wesleyana Club warmly welcomes all mothers of former Wesley College students. We share a close association with the Penrhosian Club (mothers of former Penrhos students) by way of our Wesleyana Winter High Tea and Penrhosian Christmas Luncheon.
