Ivanhoe Girls’ Old Grammarians Association (IGOGA)
Past students of Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School
Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School is situated at 123 Marshall St Ivanhoe 3079.
The Old Girls’ Association was formed in 1923. In 1965 the name was officially changed to ‘Ivanhoe Girls’ Old Grammarians’ Association’, although the term ‘Old Girls’ is still used.
The constitution, which was drafted in 1924, is reviewed on a regular basis and is kept up-to-date in order to remain relevant.
Past students, and other friends of Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School are encouraged to become members of the Association. Details of membership are available on the IGOGA website.
In 1967 the newsletter GAB (Grammarians’ Association Bulletin) was born and it is now published twice a year for all financial members of the Association. It is quite distinct from other School publications and among other interesting topics, GAB contains personal news of interest to all age levels.
The Association has always worked closely with the School – helping with reunions, fundraising, archives, career nights etc. Many Old Grammarians have become staff members, active parents, and they have also represented the Association on the School Board as nominees and elected members.
In continuing the link with the School, the Association has donated many gifts. Permanent gifts include gold School Captain badges, Jean Chapman Memorial Arts and Craft prizes, and Elspeth Dean and Jean Willey Memorial awards.
