Overview
Welcome to all past students of Queenwood. Once your school years are over there is still much to be gained by continuing the association with your old school. The Queenwood Old Girls' Association (QOGA) strives to keep the school spirit alive through its many activities from reunions, special events, morning teas, newsletters and artistic endeavours such as The Vision Art Shows and theatrical productions drawing together the many talents of Old Girls.
The Association helps alumni remain in contact with classmates and network with one another. Class reunions are held regularly and Old Girls are able to make use of 'Burrawang' on the Junior School site as a venue for their reunions.
QOGA also assists in mentoring current students, particularly with work experience opportunities or simply by giving professional advice. Old Girls who return to school as guest speakers are inspirational. A number have been invited to be part of the School's speech night held at Sydney Town Hall, where they represent the successes and achievements of so many Queenwood girls.
Since it was established, QOGA has played a vital role in continuing the tradition of a strong Queenwood community. QOGA seeks to keep our past students informed of each others' achievements as well as current news of the School and its present day students' achievements. We believe that a strong network benefits past students, current students and the School alike in helping them achieve their best.
The Stars Fund is an initiative of the Queenwood Board of Governors in partnership with QOGA, which provides a means for former students who wish to make a contribution to the activities and educational experiences offered by Queenwood. The purpose of The Stars Fund is to provide resources to further enrich and expand the educational experience for students of Queenwood. This could encompass anything from a set of books, scholarships, instruments, or furniture to building contributions.

Queenwood Old Girls' Association has an abundance of professionals as members in many industries. These professionals know what it is like to leave school, make their way through university or college and become successful in their chosen field. It is difficult - however, QOGA would like to make it a little easier for our current students and offer them a wealth of knowledge.
A mentor, being the more experienced person, help the less experienced person to achieve their goals by using encouragement, goal setting, relationship building and developmental skills. Queenwood students will certainly benefit from this program. The objective of the program is to introduce students to inspiring women who can guide them on their career path. These one on one relationships will allow them to take on the business world! Please email us for more details. oldgirls@queenwood.nsw.edu.au
QOGA has an extensive database that will allow you to find others in the same industry or with similar interests. We continuously try to gather as much information about our members as possible. This way we can put you in contact with others to network both professionally and personally. You can build your career famework or just find a friend to join you in your favourite hobby. Our aim is to keep you in touch with as many members as possible. Contact us for more details AND fill in the survey form so we can update your current details too.

QOGA is extremely excited about launching this fantastic new program. It’s all about celebrating women who have made a difference.
The Woman of Distinction should be an Old Girl who is inspiring and motivational in her professional and/or personal life in ways that will motivate and inspire the current students.
We invite you to nominate an Old Girl who you feel might fit this description. Then on Speech Night in November, QOGA will present an Old Girl with a beautiful trophy to recognise their achievements.
We have attached a Nomination Form along with this newsletter and hope you will take the time to nominate an Old Girl for this prestigious award. You can nominate more than one person and even yourself.
The deadline for the nominations is September 30th when the QOGA committee will look at the nominees and decide on a winner.
