Celebrating and acknowledging our Marsden Old Girls

The Marsden Hall of Fame was established in 2006 as a way of celebrating and acknowledging women in business, and was broadened in 2010 to cover all fields of endeavour. We are proud to honour truly outstanding women, who’ve achieved success in areas as diverse as the arts, science, commerce, education, health, law, the environment, women’s affairs and the community. 

Each year new Marsden Hall of Fame Laureates are announced at Old Girls Day.

We are so proud of our Laureates. Many are generous of their time and expertise in presenting to and mentoring our students. We love it when they come back to school.
