This list of accomplished Old Guildfordians is rapidly growing so please keep sending them in. We can be proud of our Old Guildfordians and their many successes in life should serve to inspire others to achieve the same. It can also be said that there is no better advertisement for our fine School than the scores of accomplished Old Guildfordians that have once walked the halls. Helps us recognise these achievements, whether they be occupational, sporting, cultural or personal and send us information about yourself or other Old Guildfordians. If you think someone’s missing send your nomination to David Williams at og@ggs.wa.edu.au or 11 Terrace Road, GUILDFORD WA 6935.
