The Old Girls’ Association
Every female student who studied at Ipswich High prior to September 2018 is invited to join the Old Girls’ Association (OGA). The ‘old girls’ are a diverse and far-flung group of individuals who are always welcome back at the school. Each year, the OGA holds a Spring Lunch and an AGM.
If you aren’t yet a member but would like to join, please mail: Charlotte Godfrey, Membership Secretary.
The OGA has a Facebook page to rekindle lost friendships, share memories, advertise OG events, and generally keep the conversation going.
The Old Boys’ Association
From 1951 to 1990, Woolverstone Hall was home to Woolverstone Hall School, a secondary grammar boarding school for boys.
To help connect with past Woolverstone Hall pupils more effectively, the OBA has a Facebook group to rekindle lost friendships and share memories of their time at the school.
