Join the Woodford House Old Girls' Association (WHOGA) in commemorating the centenary of our beloved chapel. As we prepare to mark the 100-year anniversary of the chapel's establishment on 28 July 2028, we embark on a special fundraising project to honour this milestone.

This fundraising campaign was launched in September 2023 and is focused on designing and installing a lancet window. It is one of the last lancets in full view that has the original leaded light glass.  

This lancet window, in its unadorned state reflects a blank canvas, symbolising the endless possibilities of the past, present, and future. 

We invite you to be a part of its transformation into an awe-inspiring masterpiece, to match the beauty of the neighbouring windows.

The lancet window in question is situated on the left-hand side of the aisle. (Pictured below).

Cost for this project are estimated to be $150,000.

We aim to raise funds for this campaign over a period of five years and we will involve our Woodford House community as much as we are able.

By supporting this fundraising campaign, you become an integral part of history, leaving a lasting legacy for generations of students to come. 

Help us as we transform the lancet into a symbol of unity, pride, and lasting beauty. 

Old Girls' have played a pivotal role in the development of the Chapel and we will be welcoming Old Girl input into the design for the window. 

An invitation to submit a design was emailed to the entire Old Girl database who have an email attached to their profile, in March 2024. If you did not recieve this email please get in touch with Pippa Scott-Castles whoga@woodford.school.nz

Design submissions opened 21st March 2024 and will close 16th May 2024 at 5.00pm.

At the top of this page, you can click the button to donate as much or as little as you are able.

By contributing, you have an integral role in making this window truly magnificent and contributing to our Chapel which is the heart of Woodford House.

If you have questions or queries, please contact Pippa Scott-Castles whoga@woodford.school.nz
