On Friday we held our Marsden Old Girls' Day, and school was buzzing with excitement with generations of decade groups gathering for chapel and the traditional All Saints' Day assembly. The pride and joy of returning Old Girls as they reconnected was delightful to share. School tours took place, the annual MOGA AGM was held, and the day concluded with a gorgeous cocktail party and dinner. We also celebrated three exceptional Old Girls who have achieved prominence nationally and internationally in their chosen fields. Congratulations and welcome to our 2023 Marsden Hall of Fame Laureates:  Diane Menzies (nee Bright) ONZM, Marsden Years: 1951-1964, recognised for her contribution to landscape architecture. https://alumnae.marsden.school.nz/2023HOFDianeMenzies  Jin Russell (nee Teoh), Marsden Years: 1994-2000, recognised for her contribution to child development in New Zealand and her passion to understand and change the poor health circumstances of children. https://alumnae.marsden.school.nz/2023HOFJinRussell  Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie, Marsden Years: 2014-2018, recognised for her contribution to and success in the performing arts on the global stage.
