Laughter, nostalgia and renewed purpose filled the air in Asaba as the St. Brigid’s Old Girls’ Association marked the 60th anniversary of St. Brigid’s Girls’ Grammar School with its first-ever grand homecoming, a four-day reunion held from December 11 to 14, 2025.

The milestone celebration, themed “Reunion and Renewal: Celebrating Yesterday and Unboxing Tomorrow… Homecoming 2025,” brought together generations of alumnae in a colourful blend of reflection, reconnection and forward-looking commitment to the school’s future.

Activities kicked off with a spirited health walk through the city, setting the tone for days of wellness, bonding and shared memories. This was followed by an interactive mentorship session where distinguished alumnae engaged current students, offering career guidance, life lessons and inspiration drawn from their personal journeys.

A lively meet-and-greet later in the day gave former classmates the chance to reconnect after decades apart, while also hosting an enlightening lecture on mental health, underscoring the association’s focus on holistic well-being.

Day two added a dose of friendly rivalry and excitement with a novelty football match between the 1991 set and a combined team of the 1992, 1993 and 1994 sets, drawing cheers and laughter from spectators. The day also featured a courtesy visit to the Asagba of Asaba, HRM Prof. Epiphany Chibuogu Azinge, SAN, reinforcing the school’s enduring ties to the Asaba community.

The celebrations continued on the third day with the Annual General Meeting of the St. Brigid’s Old Girls’ Association, where key issues affecting the association and the school were deliberated upon, setting the stage for renewed leadership and sustained impact.

The anniversary events not only celebrated six decades of academic excellence and character formation but also reaffirmed the alumnae’s collective resolve to preserve the legacy of St. Brigid’s Girls’ Grammar School and support its growth for generations to come.
