Term 2, 2026
The TERM 2 programme is available now - click HERE to read a copy online or to download. Enrolments commence on Tuesday 21 April at 9am.
Term 2 brings us a very interesting lineup of speakers, including Leanne Stojmenov, the Artistic Director of WA Ballet, who will speak about her enthralling career in dance. Bill Cutler will take us on a journey of discovery, exploring his family’s connections to the First Fleet, and Terry Harvey will share the miraculous rescue of survivors from the ice after an airship disaster in the Arctic. We've booked some fabulous fine-dining restaurants again this term, including lunch at the ever popular Chez Pierre and the well-reviewed Silp Thai. Don’t miss the Spanish-inspired cooking demonstration with Tracey Cotterell, which is sure to be popular. Along with Term 2 Music/Theatre events, we are inviting early bookings for the sharply funny Broadway Hit How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, in Term 3. Book early to secure your seat. Why not get a group together and come along on the bus trip out to Antonio Battistessa’s renowned studio, where the internationally celebrated master blacksmith will demonstrate his extraordinary craft. This trip includes lunch at Pasta in the Valley. The outing to Wanneroo Regional Gallery is presented in partnership with the British Museum, featuring Mary Delany's extraordinary "paper mosaiks." All our favourite regular events, such as Walking Groups, Chair Pilates and Yoga, Mah-Jong, Pony Canasta, Rummikub, Book Club, Prose & Poetry Readings and Mini Golf, continue this term, all of which provide opportunities for socialising as well as either problem-solving or light exercise.
I hope that you will join your friends to participate in WCC events and that you will all enjoy the programme this term, as well as what will be offered throughout 2026. Enrolment Day is Tuesday 21 April, with in-person enrolments from 9am - 10.30am. We look forward to seeing you there. Online enrolments commence at 11am.

From the archives: WCC's 30th Birthday Celebrations
WCC turned 30 in 2023 and, on 17 November, 100 guests were treated to an elegant afternoon tea at The Grove Library Precint to celebrate this important milestone. And what a fabulous celebration it was! The weather was perfect and we were delighted to welcome the PLC’s Senior Piano Trio and the Year 9 String Quartet, who provided wonderful arrangements of music to set the scene as guests arrived and during the afternoon. Invited guests, Honorary and current members enjoyed a sumptuous High Tea, all organised by our volunteers. The beautiful china, silver teapots, elegant table settings and beautiful flowers were a sight to see, as was the delicious array of food and wine that was served. What a wonderful celebration of community and volunteering! A huge thank you to all our volunteers for making the afternoon such a success. We're already looking forward to our next celebration!
