From the President: March 2022
Welcome to the first edition of the Old Girls’ Association Blog for 2022.
And what a crazy start to the year it’s been! I hope you’re all keeping safe and well in these strange and difficult times.
Many of you would’ve been looking forward to our reunion event, which we sadly had to postpone due to restrictions. We look forward to being able to reschedule this event at an appropriate time.
I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome our newest members… the Class of 2021. This year will be one of the most exciting of your lives, and 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, rekindle old ones, and also give back. Having a sense of community is also more important than ever, as we continue to navigate through these challenging times.  Â
