The Old Collegiate Girls’ Guild (OCGG) is an association of past pupils of Collegiate Girls’ High School.
The OCGG was founded in 1910. Its chief aim is the cultivation of friendship among former pupils of Collegiate and the maintenance of their active interest in the school and its current pupils.
All girls who have left the Junior and Senior schools, provided they attended the high school for at least two years, are eligible for membership. Girls who spent only their Matric year at Collegiate are also eligible.

OCGG SENIORS' TEA
The OCGG Seniors' Tea is an annual celebration of memories old and new. A special highlight was the presence of Mrs Thelma Beveridge from the Class of 1947 whose legacy and grace reminded everyone of the enduring spirit of the College. With more than 70 Old Girls joining the gathering, the event was one of the most warmly supported moments on the OCGG calendar. It was a testament to the lasting bonds formed at a school of excellence, where friendships flourish long after the final school bell rings.
“Reunions remind us that no matter how far we roam, the moments and people who shaped us remain close to the heart.”

Honouring the memory of Pam Ellis
Members of all the reunion groups of 2019 are encouraged to donate to the school’s Collegia Trust Legacy 2024 Project, in honour of the late Miss Pam Ellis. Your contributions will help fund your choice of academic or performing arts development (scholarships and facilities), both initiatives close to Miss Ellis’s heart. The proposed Music Centre, designed by Millennia Architects, will be situated behind the gym hall, between the tennis and squash courts. It will provide rehearsal rooms for the bands, choir and various ensembles, as well as individual and class teaching rooms. It has also been designed in such a way that a second-floor auditorium and drama and dance studios can be added in a second phase.
