Old Grammarians

All former students are valued members of the wider Lowther Hall community and are encouraged to retain a lifelong connection to the School through the Old Grammarians’ Association.

Lowther Hall has a strong and vibrant network of Old Grammarians throughout Melbourne and regional Victoria, as well as across Australia and overseas.

Through the Old Grammarians’ Association, former students are able to retain friendships, be part of an established network of women representing almost every professional field and keep up-to-date with the latest goings on at the School through receiving the Lowther News newsletter, and Old Grammarians e-newsletter. Old Grammarians also receive invitations to attend School events such as The Story of the Cross, School performances and the annual Service of Carols, held in Melbourne’s St Paul’s Cathedral.

Membership

Upon completing secondary school, Lowther Hall girls are automatically life members of the Old Grammarians’ Association. A one-off life membership fee is included in the tuition fee for all Year 12 students.

Committee

The Old Grammarians’ Association is coordinated by a Committee of past students.

The Committee works in conjunction with the School to organise networking events to create opportunities for past students to reconnect.

The Old Grammarians’ Association AGM is held in February or March each year and all Old Grammarians are warmly invited to attend.

Reunions

Lowther Hall hosts reunions for year groups celebrating 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50+ years since leaving school.

Reunions are extremely well attended and provide a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with school friends. To ensure you receive invitations to reunions, please ensure we have your current contact details.  Update your details here.
