Unlortunately we were unable to caler for everyone and we had to turn away over 100 girls. As there is no (i.P.S. cornpetition, we play in the Brisbane Arrateur Basketball Association Junior League. We have a total of seven teams, making us one olthe largest junior clubs in Queensland. All games are played at the new QE ll corn- plex or the State Basketball Centre at Auchenflower.

Lifesaving Report This year's Lilesaving Competition on April 1lth., saw B.G.G.S. I'ield an "A" and a "B" team. Both teams worked very hard at numerous practices at almost unknown hours of the morning, going hungry at lunch time and staying after school. 'fhe spirit was good, and although we didn't gain any rnajor positions, the "Big Day" was fun. Very special thanks to Miss O'Brien, lor her training (and patience), and Miss Greet, and a lew Parents, our only supporters, whose presence was appreciated, and of course thanks to all the girls.
