The Hermitage Old Girls Assocoation

In 2006 it was one hundred years since The Geelong Church of England Girls Grammar School, The Hermitage, was founded at Pakington Street, Newtown. The school moved to more spacious grounds and modern buildings at Highton in 1973 and in 1976 The Hermitage amalgamated with Geelong Grammar School and Clyde School.

At Geelong Grammar School, Corio, splendid girls’ boarding accommodation is named The Hermitage House and here much of the school’s memorabilia is on permanent display. The Sanctuary from the Assembly Room, Newtown, is handsomely installed in the Darling Hall, Corio.

And this year, 2009 is the 100th Birthday of The Hermitage Old Girls Association!

We invite you to join us at the functions (listed on HOGA News) which your Committee has organised for you to keep in contact with old school friends. We remind you that the Association compiles a very comprehensive Newsletter, with photographs, available from the Secretary and mailed to all HOGA members who have provided their postal address.
