Westwood Old Girls Association
(Est. 1929)
The Westwood Old Girls Association was established in Jamaica by Mary Carnegie February 1929. The Association is Incorporated under the Companies Act, as a non-profit limited company and is registered for tax exempt status under the Charities Act 2013.
It is with deep humility that I take on the Presidency of the Westwood Old Girls Association for the third and final year. A third term gives me the opportunity of completing the tasks/goals that were set in 2024. The need to see the Association grow in terms of membership is my greatest wish. Growth is necessary for continuity, as well as financial sustainability and viability. As President, motivation of the non-committed alumna has been challenging. We, as members of the Association must find a way to get all stakeholders engaged.
When I look back at the 2025 Issa / Grace Kennedy Boys and Girls Championships, I see the enthusiasm and loyalty displayed by the athletes and supporters for the various schools. The love of school and the determination to win was on full display, that is where I want our alumnae to be.
As we move on in 2025, we plan to complete the furnishing of the Enid Beale Home Economics Center, to make it a 1st class learning space by providing all the needed equipment and accessories.
With regards to the Association, we will continue to support Westwood High School in any way we can, when called upon or as the need arise. The mentorship programme needs to restart. This is a good way to keep in touch with the girls and keep WOGA relevant to them. We will also plan activities where we, as a group, can mingle, socialize, network and build camaraderie as stated in the objects of WOGA.
The Executive Committee looks forward to the full support of all alumnae during the year. We cannot succeed without your input, let us do this for the love of our alma mater.
