Furthermore, there are those who might be Honorary Members of the Association. These are any person other than an Old Boy who is elected an Honorary Member on the recommendation of the Executive Committee and by a majority vote of a General Meeting of the Association.

There has so far been one recipient of an Honorary Membership and that was Bill Mallett in recognition of his services as Chairman of the Board of Trustees and also for his work in helping with the Jubilee, the Jubilee Fundraising Committee and the WBHS Old Boys’ Association Executive Committee. Bill was very active in the years 2002-2009.
