Old Boys' Union
Founded in 1893, the Old Boys’ Union (OBU) is run by Old Boys for Old Boys.
The OBU has over 8,000 members and offers an annual program of events and reunions for its members.
OBU members are valued custodians of the School and its future, and supporters of the generations of boys that follow them. All Old Boys of The King’s School are eligible to become members of the OBU.
Global Alumni Network
There are over 12,500 living Old Boys and over 2,000 Old Tudorians – indeed, many of the King’s Old Boys came through Tudor House to board at King’s in Parramatta.
Our long history means a rich heritage of Old Boys and Old Tudorians who now form the King’s Global Alumni Network and there are two key bodies: The King’s School Old Boys’ Union and Old Tudorians.
In 2017, Tudor House entered a new era with the first enrolment of girls who will one day become alumna in the Old Tudorian Network.
For information about events and reunions of the Old Tudorians, please contact the Tudor House main office.
Old Boys Scholarship Opportunities
Thanks to the generosity of Old Boys, parents, friends, associated organisations and bequests, The King’s School is fortunate to be able to offer two scholarships to Old Boys seeking to study at university commencing between September 2026 and March 2027.
The following awards are available:
The Stanley Wilson Oxford Scholarship was left to the School by Charles Stanley Wentworth Wilson as a bequest on his death in 1944. Mr Wilson was the father of M.G. Wilson (TKS 1920), A.S. Wilson (TKS 1925), and B.C. Wilson (TKS 1926), grandfather of T.M.F. Wilson (TKS 1947) and J.R. Wilson (TKS 1950), and great-grandfather of L.T. Wilson (TKS 1976) and A.S. Wilson (TKS 1978).
The Scholarship was originally intended to help past students who proceeded to Wadham College or another Oxford University College. In 1974, its terms were widened to include study at other universities.
Today, the Stanley Wilson Scholarship is tenable for three years at the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, or another university where the holder is ineligible to receive Commonwealth Government funding applicable to tertiary studies.
The Scholarship is valued at $6,100 (AUD) annually for three years.
Eligibility
The Scholarship may be awarded to an Old Boy who:
- Completed Year 12 at The King’s School and had been enrolled at the School for at least three years.
- Passed the Higher School Certificate.
- Is studying towards a degree in law, medicine or theology, or any other bachelor’s or postgraduate degree.
The Sydney See Memorial Scholarship was the gift of the parents of Sydney Matthew See (TKS 1914). Sydney See was the younger son of Sir John See KCMG, JP, Premier of New South Wales from 1901 to 1904. At King’s, Sydney was in the shooting team in 1913 and 1914 and won a star badge. He was also in the 1st XV in 1914.
Sydney was killed in action in France on 10 October 1916 while serving as a Second Lieutenant in the 71st Brigade of the Royal Field Artillery. A shell struck him and burst on percussion. Sydney is buried in France, less than 100 metres from where he fell.
The Sydney See Memorial Scholarship is available to an Old Boy of the School for study in the Veterinary Science and Agriculture faculties at The University of Sydney.
Eligibility
The Scholarship may be awarded to an Old Boy who:
- Completed Year 12 at The King’s School and had been enrolled at the School for at least three years.
- Matriculated in the Higher School Certificate and intends to study Veterinary Science or Agriculture at the University of Sydney.
The Scholarship is valued at $2,800 each year for three years.
OBU Harrisford Group
The Harrisford Group was formed by The King’s School Old Boys’ Union and is for Old Boys aged 70 and over. It is intended to help Old Boys keep in touch with each other and the School, and to preserve and strengthen the ideals, traditions and history of the School.
The Group’s establishment was led by Bruce Hayman (’61), James Lloyd (’64), Brian Larking (’56), Terry Read (’59) and Lloyd Waddy (’57). These Old Boys were educated at the original campus in the heart of Parramatta.
