110th Anniversary

Honouring the Past, Inspiring the Future

Since its founding in 1914, The Women’s College has served as a home away from home for countless students, shaping their lives and nurturing their intellects. Over the years, our College has not only maintained its commitment to providing a supportive community but has also evolved to reflect the changing needs and aspirations of our students. Now, as we stand at the threshold of our 110th year, we find ourselves on the cusp of an exciting new era.

The 110th anniversary celebrations will take place throughout 2024 and will be a remarkable opportunity for our alumnae and friends to reconnect, reminisce, and rekindle old friendships. This momentous occasion will be marked by a series of events and activities designed to honour our rich history, celebrate our collective achievements, and set the stage for an inspiring future.

110th Anniversary Projects

This momentous occasion will be marked by the following activities that have been designed to honour our rich history,
celebrate our collective achievements, and set the stage for an inspiring future.

110th Anniversary Bursary

Women’s is proud to announce the establishment of the 110th Anniversary Bursary Fund. This initiative aims to support a deserving student in their pursuit of a university college experience based on financial need; it will be awarded for the first-time in 2024. We invite you to contribute to this cause and empower future generations to follow in your footsteps.

Capital Campaign

Plans to refurbish the Tennis/Basketball Court Outdoor Area into a wellbeing precinct will be released later in 2023. Naming opportunities will be provided, with supporters recognised as 110th Anniversary Donors.

110 Alumnae Stories

Alumnae will share their stories and memories of The Women’s College with our community through a 10-episode video series. These videos will be published on our website throughout 2024.
