From the President: February 2024
I hope you are all having a wonderful start to the year. I’d like to welcome you to the first edition of the Old Girls’ Association blog for 2024. We have some great stories for you to read about fellow alumni.
We have an exciting few weeks coming up, with the 2024 Reunion almost upon us. If you were in the Classes of 2019, 2014, 2004, 1999, 1994, 1984 or 1974, then we look forward to welcoming you to the College on Saturday 10 February. You can find more details and purchase your tickets here.Â
Bookings close on Monday 5 February.
I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome our newest members, the Class of 2023.  The year ahead will be an exciting one for you all. We can’t wait to see what you get up to!
The OGA is a great way to stay connected with the College – to make new friendships, or rekindle old ones, and also to give back. We are looking forward to another wonderful year, hosting events and opportunities to connect with one another.
Until next time.
