Welcome to the official page for Firbank Old Grammarians' Association (FOGA) World War II saw many changes but the spirit remained.
The Firbank Old Grammarians’ Association (FOGA) was founded in November 1918 and grew rapidly during the 20s and 30s. In an era when few women were part of the workforce, thriving literary, dramatic and sporting clubs contributed to the vitality of the Association. Old Grammarians continue to meet in order to foster friendships made at school and work to support the School and its traditions in various ways.

Last Friday’s FOGA Annual Lunch was a truly joyful occasion, bringing together 80 of our past students from Peer Years 1948 to 1988. It was a special opportunity to reconnect, reminisce, and celebrate lifelong friendships.
We were delighted to mark milestone reunions for the Class of 1956 (70 Year Reunion) and the Class of 1966 (60 Year Reunion). The room was filled with laughter, shared memories and a deep sense of community.
A huge thank you to our entire Firbank Community on reaching our 2026 Annual Giving Day goal to upgrade our Patricia Turner Centre for Creative Arts.
Due to your very generous donations, we have raised $150,152. What an incredible result for the future of our students.
