Old Girl News<br />
Our SMC Old Girls' Association co-ordinator, Wendy Groves, has given a number<br />
of tours recently to old girls and their friends and family, wanting to take a trip down<br />
memory lane!<br />
Angela Edgington (Macfarlane) 1958<br />
Thank you very much for taking us on the wonderful tour of St Margaret’s and<br />
organising with Vickie for us to see my family christening gown and my aunt’s<br />
information that is in the archives. It was very much appreciated. I know everyone<br />
enjoyed your tour very much. It was special. We were most impressed with the<br />
facilities for the year 13 boarders and the healthy food in the boarders’ dining room.<br />
Again, thank you. It was something I will always remember.<br />

Eunice Chan 1983<br />
Eunice was St Margaret’s first international student from Malaysia and since leaving<br />
has risen through the ranks of Malaysian banking to become Head of Private Banking.<br />
She is pictured here with daughter Tiffany (19) and husband Thiong Chai, after they<br />
visited the college during their three-week holiday to New Zealand.<br />

Julie Seymour (Dawson) 1984<br />
Former Silver Fern and now a member of the St Margaret’s sports department, Julie<br />
Seymour, received a well deserved Service Award from Netball New Zealand earlier<br />
this year for her significant contribution to netball.<br />
Islay Fowler 2012<br />
Mrs Simpson received this updated from Islay Fowler as she prepared for her first<br />
year at Otago. “After initially being awarded the Leaders of Tomorrow and Vice<br />
Chancellors Scholarship, I was put on a waitlist for the Academic Excellence<br />
Entrance Scholarship. I didn’t think much of it as it’s a super competitive $45k<br />
award, but checking my emails last week I saw I’d been lucky enough to be awarded<br />
this scholarship, I guess Level 3 results got me over the line! This is thrilling and<br />
was made even more special when my dear friend Grace Sullivan found out only<br />
yesterday good news of the same nature. So again I thank you for giving me the<br />
opportunity to attend St Margaret’s, from which many doors have opened up for me.<br />
Julie Seymour<br />
On a sporting note while representing Canterbury Women at the National 7’s rugby<br />
tournament in mid January, I was selected in the New Zealand Development<br />
programme. Olympic dream one step closer maybe?”<br />
