Margaret Sixell, who matriculated in 1976, won the Oscar for Best Film Editing of the movie Mad Max, Fury Road.
Louise Erasmus, the Deputy Principal for Curricular and PR & Marketing at Collegiate, said "we are very happy."
"In fact when we heard the news it was quite a feeling in the staffroom especially since one of our staff members was in her matric year. The fact that a Collegiate girl can go on and win an Oscar in a film that has done so incredibly well with editing of it, is really something amazing and something for our girls to look up to and aspire to. Maybe one day they'll hold an Oscar too," she said.
