Established in 1948, the Hereworth Old Boys’ & Girls' Association (HOBGA) is an informal but energetic body that provides an ongoing link for past pupils with the school. Its fundraising achievements support an annual Old Boys’ & Girls' scholarship as well as various smaller projects within the school. The Association is also actively involved in the school’s governance with a Board of Trustee representative.

About HOBGA

Prior to leaving Hereworth all students are encouraged to join the HOBGA. The subscription fee entitles former students to become Life Members, and receive the Old Boy’s & Girls' tie upon leaving Hereworth.

The current Hereworth Old Boys’ & Girls' Association President is Mr Ben Absolom and he is supported by an active committee.

Events

Regular social gatherings and the annual “Old Students versus Current Students” cricket match form the basis of the Association’s activities. It is active in various functions throughout the year, with our “Founders' Day” a key date in the calendar.

With a new year on the horizon, the Association is looking at ramping up activities and we look forward to seeing many past students welcomed back onto School grounds to swap stories, handshakes, and that familiar Hereworth hospitality.

The Hereworth Supporters Golf Day is now a fixture in the calendar, providing all Alumni members and friends of the School with the opportunity to play one of the world's great golf courses - Cape Kidnappers.

This is a truly spectacular day out for golfers of all ages and abilities, and it also helps raise money for Hereworth scholarships. Events in 2023 and 2024 have raised over $45,000 toward this cause, giving students who receive an Old Boys' & Old Girls' Scholarship a chance to attend Hereworth School.

This event takes place in late Summer or early Spring each year, so keep an eye out for ticket sales and we'll see you on the back nine.

The Hereworth Picket Fence project allows families to etch their name into Hereworth history, forever. For $100 you will receive an embossed plaque that will be installed on one of the pickets surrounding the 1st club cricket ground.

It's not just for cricketers - all students, families and staff members are welcome to purchase their own little piece of Hereworth. And if your family purchases multiple picket plaques, they will be grouped together along the boundary.

Supporting Current & Future Hereworth Students

The Association's fundraising provides scholarships that allow Year 7 or 8 students who, without this scholarship, would not be able to attend Hereworth. If you would like to contribute to the scholarships fund or establish a new scholarship in your name, please contact the Foundation Co-ordinator by email, or you can make a donation using the form below.
