BHOGA
Broadland Old Girls' Association, founded July 1906
There is a close bond of affection between the school and its scholars. Why an Old Girls' Association? Why did it become and remain an integral part of the school? What intangibles brought and maintained a group diverse in interests and professions, with an age range of eighteen to eighty? Groups survive when there is a common goal such as fundraising but that sort of motivation is not enough, for neither man nor woman lives by bread alone. Did members want to help their school because they believed in its values, as they perceived them? Was it friendship that bonded them? Broadland's longest serving headmistress, Miss Rooney's genuine affection for her 'people' gave impetus and stability for many years but the Association had most rewarding relationships with succeeding headmistresses. Leaders emerged from the Old Girls' ranks as they were needed and this kept up momentum. Just as importantly there was always a strong core of supporters.
