espite 2022 beginning quietly for the Old Girls, with COVID-19 restrictions forcing the cancellation of several events, we still managed to have a productive start to the year by awarding some prizes and scholarships.
PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Year 12 student Samantha Lourey wowed OGA Committee members, Necia Drazevic and Hannah Jago, with an impressive portfolio submission to win our 2022 Jane Gillon Arts Award. This award, which is a monetary prize to be used in an arts-related discipline in Year 12, is open to all Year 11 girls at year’s end. We also recently awarded the 2023 Marlene Carter Scholarship to current Year 6 student, Helena Drescher, daughter of Dr Elizabeth Drescher (Elderfield ’92), and the 2023 Ethel Beaton Scholarship to current Year 10 student, Rose Meharry, daughter of Renee Meharry (Sassella ’96). Congratulations, girls. While these awards are reserved for current students, we have several scholarships and prizes open to our members. Applications have closed for 2022 and we look forward to announcing the successful recipients soon. It was with great sadness that we farewelled 2021 Head Girl, Sally Hicks, one of our newest Old Girls, in March. Sally will forever hold a special place in our hearts. On behalf of the OGA and all our Old Girls, I extend my heartfelt sympathies to Sally’s parents, her brothers and all those who loved her. Best wishes for the year ahead.
