Old Girls’ Association

The St Margaret’s College Old Girls’ Association (SMCOGA) is a global network of former students of the College.

About SMCOGA

Our members live and work in many diverse and stimulating environments, professions and areas of employment in Christchurch, Canterbury, throughout New Zealand and around the world.

The Old Girls first met in 1913, with the aim of ‘binding the past and present in unity and strength’. Since that time, over 12,000 girls have stepped through the College gates to become St Margaret’s Old Girls.

Today, the focus of SMCOGA is to create a strong sense of community for our Old Girls through each stage of their lives.

Nurturing connections – past, present and future.
