The Digby Stuart Association (DSA) exists to foster links and contacts with former students and staff.

Formed as an association when Digby Stuart College was a Teacher Training College for Catholic girls, it has members reaching back to the 1930s and before the Teacher Training College moved to the Roehampton site.    

Before the war the teacher training was based at St Charles Square in North Kensington and during the war the students were all evacuated to Cold Ash in Berkshire before coming to Roehampton in place of the then Sacred Heart Boarding school which had moved on to Woldingham.

Each year, usually in May, the DSA Day is held at Digby Stuart College and provides an opportunity for former staff and students to meet up and have lunch and exchange their news.  A special decade lunch is also held and this year students returned to the lunch from 1949 to 1999. The event was amazing particularly for the Golden and Diamond Jubilarians who shared their experiences of the time when they were at the College. 

DSA continues to flourish and plans are already well underway for the 2010 reunion to be held on 8 May 2010.  For further details contact Nilou Hawthorne at Digby Stuart College on 020 83923217 or n.hawthorne@roehampton.ac.uk
