2024 OGA Departing Girtonian Scholarship now open!
The $2,500 scholarship is awarded each year to students who display good all-round commitment to the school’s values and who epitomise what it is to be a departing Girtonian with positive relationships, a commitment to lifelong learning, leadership skills, resilience and a commitment to social responsibility. The scholarship aims to support a departing student and, as such, the needs and opportunities for each applicant will be considered.
The scholarship is open to current Girton Grammar Year 12 students who meet the following criteria:
- Life Membership of the OGA
- A demonstrable commitment and enthusiasm across all aspects of the school curriculum
- A demonstrable commitment and enthusiasm in co-curricular activities
- A demonstrable commitment and enthusiasm to community service activities
The successful applicant will receive scholarship funds of $2,500 to be used for activities that relate directly to further education, professional development, travel, volunteer abroad and gap year programs and will be payable to the provider of the goods or services after provision of a valid tax invoice or quotation.

Help needed!
The OGA was generously gifted some wonderful photos from a relative of Heather and Shirley Eadie, who attended Girton in the 1930s.
One photo comes with the description 'Group of girls at school swimming sports, Bendigo' and we would like to confirm that this is indeed a photo of Old Girtonians.
If you have a relative who attended Girton around 1937 and you recognise them in this picture, we would love to hear from you!
Save the date!
If you know past students or teachers from these cohorts, please help spread the word about these enjoyable events. Bookings for our reunions can be made via www.trybooking.com.
