You don’t have to go far to find a CHS connection.
Across Manchester and the North West, Old Waconians are building careers, starting businesses, and shaping industries, often just a few miles from each other.
Whether you’re new to the city, returning after university, or have been here for years, this is a space to reconnect with people who share that CHS starting point.
You might use this space to: offer an opportunity or some advice, connect with local alumni or simply recognise a familiar name
A good place to start is to introduce yourself, share what you are doing now and if you know other Old Wacs in Manchester, invite them to join.
Our events unite Old Waconians, students, and parents to reconnect, network, and celebrate across campus and beyond.
Take a look at our Old Waconian's Gallery for the latest photos from our Old Waconian events and reunions.
Connecting students and Old Waconians, our platform fosters lifelong professional growth through mentorship, university guidance, and shared career opportunities.
