HOGA (Highbury Old Girls Association)

Highbury Old Girls Association (HOGA) is the oldest in London and currently has over 200 members.

It was formed so that girls leaving the school could keep in touch with friends (and often staff) who have made their schooldays so special.

We hold a very popular annual lunch, which offers a chance to reflect on memories of the past and to plan for the future of one of the most active alumni associations in London.

This year the lunch was held in the school hall on Satursday 9th May and was a great success!

This year's international theme allowed us to adorn the hall with bunting and flags of all nations.

Delicious food and wine was accompanied by much chatter and laughter - it's always good to catch up with friends from our schooldays.

Our guest speaker (and Highbury Old Girl) Ncole Blackwood gave an interesting talk about her role as Safeguarding Lead at Acland Burleigh School.

Excellent feedback was posted on our Facebook page and Sue Baines, our Membership Secretary/Treasurer received several emails from member who enjoyed the lunch.

We were pleased to be joined by 2 school governers along with 50 HOGA members.

HOGA finds that girls typically join around twenty years after leaving school, having begun their careers and raised families. We are keen to encourage younger members to give fresh eyes to the association and help it continue to thrive.

If you loved your schooldays come and join us!
