HEAD GIRLS' REPORT SECOND SEMESTER

Once again Grammar won the interschool athletics (not counting State High, of course) held at Marist Brothers, Ashgrove on May 22. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, the 3rd, 4th and 5th of June, the colourful school musical "Man of Steel" was held in the auditorium to packed audiences and deafening cheers. Our magnificent athletes dined on seafood to celebrate their efforts at the Sports Dinner on June 18. After several harrowing end-of-semester weeks, first semester finished on Thursday June 24. We certainly ended the semester on a lighter note - so to speak - with the interhouse Chorale Competition, won most convincingly by Griffith House. Elizabeth Jameson

School resumed quietly on Tuesday 13th July, with both the girls and staff geared for a hectic second semester as the Commonwealth Games and the end of year exams loomed ever nearer in the shortened semester. The first Monday after we returned was to prove an important one in the modern history of B.G .G .S. It was the date of the Guide Dog assembly in which we were approached by the World's Finest Chocolate Company to sell their incredibly delicious chocolates, a percentage of the profits of which were to be donated to the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association. Imagine being foolish enough to ask B.G.G.S. students to sell chocolates! Needless to say we (being the greedy little piggies that we are) sold an unprecedented amount of chocolate and as a result we were rewarded at a recent assembly with the sponsorship of our very own dog, which Mrs Hancock laughingly informed us was to be called Judith. "We are not yet sure whether Judith will be a black or gold puppy", she read to us over assembly much to the girls' amusement. The following Monday's Assembly marked the lOOth anniversary of B.G.G.S.'s split with B.G.S. and the school celebrated the occasion with an address by Dr Gehrmann, and a prefect skit that included a special guest performance courtesy of B.G.S. in the form of John Peden, their School Captain. The assembly also saw the swearing in of new prefects - Bronwyn Ashton, Anne Smith and Jenny Stewart.
