Friday 27-Sunday 29-Avryl Faragher, and the other members of the Queensland Debating Team debated brilliantly at the National T'imes Debating Championships held in Brisbane with the result that Queensland retained the Shield. .A,ugust: Monday 6-Informal Day was again a great success; thisyear payment for the privilege of wearing "civies" was in the form of cans of food. These were given to the Spastic Centre, and so our day, while being pleasant for us, helped others as well.

The Cross Country Race proved to be more difficult this year, and showed that the most hardy of our school community are the Boarders! Wednesday 8-The Inter House Athletics carnival was a competitive and pleasant afternoon and despite the heat, the Boarders showed their team strength and spirit once again. Careers Evening held by the P. & F. was greatly appreciated by members of 4th,5th and 6th forms, and helped to clear worries from the minds of many girls; We wouldlike to thank the P. & F.for organizing functions such as this, as they are always most beneficial for us all. Friday l0-After an extremely full and busy 2nd term, everybody gladly broke up for 3 weeks holiday.
