Old Girls’ League Eliza Edwards Memorial Award

Miss Edwards was the third Headmistress at Diocesan 1933 – 1950. She was a highly capable and well educated woman having a bachelor’s degree from NZ and a master’s degree from Oxford. She was a devout Anglican who held the School together through both the Great Depression and the Second World War. This award was established by the Old Girls’ League in 1982 using funds remaining from the Chapel porch windows, also given in Miss Edwards’ memory. Their intention was to reward a student who ‘exemplified the high personal and moral standards Miss Edwards had expected of her girls’. For several years the recipient has been awarded a silver rose bowl, an object which signifies a long history with the Old Girls’ League. However the League has now commissioned a bronze sculpture by artist and Old Girl, Vicki Savage of a rosebud in a vase. This sculpture was awarded for the first time in 2013 and will continue to be awarded for this prestigious prize.

Awarded to a student leaving the School who throughout her schooling has contributed to many school activities, shown high personal standards and has exhibited the qualities inherent in the foundation of the School -‘Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Goodness, Kindness, Humility, Faithfulness and Self-Control’.
