WGHS Senior [Girls 11-18]

'Once a High School Girl, always a High School Girl'

Welcome to 'WGHS in touch', the relaunched Old Girls' Association, aiming to engage and reconnect former High School pupils with each other and with the school.  School news and developments; pupil successes - past and present, and details of forthcoming reunions and events will be communicated and shared through the WGHS in touch community.

Membership

When a girl leaves WGHS she automatically becomes a life member of 'WGHS in touch', and will benefit from a complimentary copy of the School Magazine for the first five years as well as further benefits which are currently being investigated. Watch this space!

Getting back in touch

If you have lost contact with the school, please get in touch so we can update your contact details. Please email Judith Laydon (a former High School herself!) in the School Office - jlaydon@wghsss.org.uk.

Judith will be happy to help get you reconnected with WGHS!

1990s Leavers Reunion - 19 June 2010

'WGHS in touch', held its first reunion for the leavers from the decade spanning 1990-2000 on Saturday 19 June in the Jubilee Hall.

90s - style invitations had been sent out and we held our breath, waiting to see how many 'Old Girls' would heed the call to return to the High School for Pimms and canapes, followed by a buffet lunch and then tour of the school.

To our delight, 88 leavers were able to accept the invitation and join us for what was a joyful and memorable occasion. They travelled from near and far ('far' including Jersey, Monaco and Australia) to be reunited with their friends, staff and school.

It was a pleasure and privilege to hear memories of their time at the High School, the obvious affection they all had for 'the happiest days of their lives' and their gratitude for the staff who had inspired them and helped them on their way to the many, varied and impressive career paths they had followed.

All were agreed that the reunion had been a resounding success and that there was a demand for future reunions. Of course, being High School girls, they would like to meet up with their QEGS counterparts from that era too!

We hope that having reconnected with WGHS, they will remain in touch. We hope to see them again soon but in the meantime, we are already discussing our next reunion for another decade.
