Patron's Message

DAME JUDITH POTTER, DNZM, CBE

The knowledge gained through education serves you throughout your lifetime and makes you a life-long learner.

My time at EGGS gave me important experience in leadership and in working with and valuing other people and the contributions they make.

Please consider a gift that will shape the future for young women and education.
