President's vision and objectives
What is the OHA for?
As I see it we stand on two legs
1. To benefit our members through a network of ex pupils and staff for social pleasure and to keep them in contact with the school and its developments.
2. To benefit and support the School and its pupils
in material ways, as
appropriate,
and through personal input by communicating our experience.
For both these legs a good and close relationship with the School is critically important.
Your committee will work towards the two key objectives of
Strengthening the Association and Supporting the School and its pupils
