Wolmer's Alumni Association - Toronto

Alumni of Wolmers Schools in Jamaica serving alumni in Canada. Helping to raise funds to support the schools. The sum of the legacy was 2,360 pounds sterling.

Wolmer’s, the oldest school in the West Indies, was founded on May 21,1729. This was the day JOHN WOLMER made his last will and testament leaving the bulk of his estate for the establishment of a free school in the parish in which he should die. Little is now known of John Wolmer except that he was a goldsmith and had practiced his craft in Kingston for more than twenty years. He was married in our home church, St. Andrew Parish Church, in July 1705. He died in Kingston on June 29,1729.

Good morning, my WoGA sisters. This morning, I greet you with not so good news and ask for prayers. A young Wolmerian did not make it home yesterday and has not been heard from. Kyra-Lee Holgate from grade 9 is missing. Her aunt, who is also a Wolmerian, has asked me to share. If we can get any information we would greatly appreciate it. The last known location was school she was to take the bus home but has not been heard from since
