Old Girls Database Project

A project has been set up to create a database of the old girls. It aims to contact as many alumnae as possible, to create a network for Ladies’ College to update you on any developments and achievements, for you to stay in touch with the school and to contact old friends you might have lost touch with.

The first stage of this project is to collect valid email address for old girls to allow the creation of an email list, which will be used for the distribution of newsletters and event invitations.

Once we have email addresses we will collect more information about what you’ve been doing since you left the school, to enable a comprehensive database to be created.

If you would like to become involved with the first stage of the project, please email me alumni@ladiescollege.sch.gg

There is also a Facebook page for the project entitled ‘The Ladies’ College Guernsey Alumnae’.

Thank you

At the recent Guild meeting it was decided that the Guild would adopt veryUnofficial as its official web site. This does not affect existing veryUnofficial users. You can still use this site to keep up with old school friends but you will also be kept up to date with what the Guild are doing. Should you wish to join the Guild please go to the Links section and download the Guild Membership application form.

Old Girls vs College Teams

This year, the Ladies’ College PE Department decided to reinstate a tradition of playing matches involving previous students against current senior teams. The aim of these matches was two fold. Firstly, to give the school teams some fresh competition in the lead up to the annual Cup Matches (against The Grammar School and Jersey College for Girls) and secondly, to give former students the opportunity to become actively involved the current school set up.

So far, netball and hockey matches have both been played. Rounders has been planned for the summer – Thursday 19^th June 2008.

The hockey match was followed but a supper hosted by the Guild, at the school, which was a great success, enjoyed by both the former and current pupils. Many “old girls” took membership forms for the Guild and several have been returned.

These matches provided both Ladies College teams with invaluable match practice and the hockey players went on to beat a strong Grammar School team, 7-1 and the Jersey College for Girls, 6-0.

The PE Department hope that these matches will become permanent fixtures in the School’s Sporting Diary.
