The first meeting of the Old Girls’ Association was held in Timaru on 14 June 1920. Mrs William Raymond presided and there was an attendance of approximately 100.
Apart from the Home Association, branches are still active in Dunedin (est.1934); Christchurch (1934); Nelson (1978); Mid Canterbury (Ashburton) (1963) and Waimate (1967) [Link to branch newsletters]. There are also informal groups who meet in Geraldine and Temuka and most recently in Oamaru.
