Old Girls Helping Old Girls

Published on April 8, 2020

We were heartened to see the response to our recent request for assistance for Old Girl, Mary-Ann Turnbull (Class of 1965) in need of accomodation support at the Gold Coast while her husband recovered in hospital.  In true Somerville OGA spirit a generous offer was forthcoming from a fellow Old Girl, allowing Mary-Ann to continue to support her husband's recovery.  We are blessed to have a strong community and would like to give thanks for the generosity of our Somerville Sisters during this tough time. 

If you or a fellow old girl you know needs assistance please reach out to the OGA on [email protected].
