Every year your WASM Alumni organises a very special celebration dinner for the WASM Graduates, who graduated the year before from the WASM Kalgoorlie Campus.
In 2015 the council took the decision to include a luncheon for the WASM Bentley Graduates and these annual events are the highlights for the extended family of the alumni, it’s partners, industry, past graduates and sponsors.
The 2017 Graduation Dinner entertained 187 people, with 27 out of the 32 2016 graduates attending. The 2016 graduates receive a 12 month free membership to the alumni and access to recruitment and the WASM Alumni Mentoring Program
Our Gold and Silver medal were awarded to the alumna’s 2013 WASMGA Scholarship recipient Andrew Borth-wick Clarke with silver going to Janelle McPhee, our 2017 Scholarship recipient. The silver medals recognise the highest achievers in their chosen disciplines.
