1983 School Magazine

F{E,&D G{RLS' RtrP@R.T' SE&{ESTER @NE What a year 1983 has been! The swimming team's motto of "taking off in tr983" and their subsequent dedication to the task of making it meaningful was an inspiration to the entire school. The interhouse swimming was a display of interschool spirit, and the friendly competition, with England's eventual victory, acted as a build up for the Q.G. S.S"A. Swimming Carnival. The ts.G.G.S. team swam superbly and deserved their placing, and more. School spirit was soaring and the spectator numbers were extrernely impressive.
