Old Ruytonians' Association

The Association was founded in 1908 to enable girls who had attended Ruyton to keep in contact with each other and the School, through social and sporting activities. The current membership of the ORA exceeds 1300.

In 1918 the Association established a Bursary, which still provides financial assistance for a student to continue her education at Ruyton. It is funded by the ORA through proceeds from functions and donations.

All financial members of the ORA are kept informed about the Association, notified about Old Girls’ functions and of course hear about the School through the Ruyton Reporter.
