SMCOGA Committee
The heart of our Old Girls' Association: Our committee
The essence of the St Margaret's College Old Girls' Association (SMCOGA) is our committee. Comprising Old Girls across the generations, they are a dynamic blend of dedication and expertise, intent on SMCOGA’s mission to ensure that every member of the St Margaret’s College community feels a profound sense of belonging and connection to the rich tapestry of the College's history and its unfolding future.
The invaluable contributions of our volunteer committee range from orchestrating engaging events in New Zealand and overseas, to managing effective communications to initiating and implementing projects that seek to connect, inspire, and empower our esteemed Old Girls. Together, they embody the spirit of unity and shared purpose that is the hallmark of the SMCOGA.
