1983 School Magazine

l9B2 does not only mark the centenary ofthe separation from Brisbane Grammar.School, but also the eentenarr sf the school library, which is now signifieantty .atil'ril* Beanland Library. Miss tseanland encouraged ihe Trustees of the day to start the library for staff and in hei first report invited all "the, lovers and upholders af highei education of women to help in the work' , . It is fitting tha; during the forthcoming vacation, the present librar! wiln be altered slightly to allow increased space not only for books, but also for audiovisual materials and rnemorabilia that are so much part of libraries today. New carpet wili also be provided in the entire area. Our library is the resource centre of the school and as such musi be continually upgraded so that the latest inforrnation ean be made available to the staff and students.

During the year a new Board of Trustees was appointed to govern the school for the next four years. The Board consists of three members elected by subscribers to the Centenary Euilding Fund and four members appointed by the Governor in Council, on advice frorn the N4inister for Education. The three elected representatives are Dr. Gehrmann, Chairman; Mrs. Yvonne tsain, Deputy Chairman and Mr. Earry Seale: while the governmeni representatives are Mr. R.ichard Bernays, Treasurer; Frofessor iVtrargaret Eullock, Dr. George Fielding and Miss Helen tr-ynch.

PR{IqCIPAL'S RmPCIR.T, X982 Dr. Gehrmann, h4embers of the Eoard of Trustees, Mr. Golding, ladies, gentlemen and girls: It is with much pleasure that, as Fnincipal of the school, I present the Annual Report for 1982. trt is particularly fitting that this year the report is again being presented in Centenary F{all at Erisbane Grammar School, as 1982 marks an important milestone in our history. On 2lst July, 1882, Girls' Grammar School became a schooi in its own right when it obtained an endowment under the Grammar Schools' Act of 1865, and was also given its own Eoard of Trustees. Miss Beanland becan'le the first Frincipal not to be subject to the direction of the X-{eadrnaster of tsrisbane Grammar School. For the seven years prior to 1882, the school had existed as the giris' trranch of Brisbane Gramrnar School under the direction of the F{eadmaster and tsoard of that school. iMiss Beanland started her report by thanking the FXeadmaster and Staff of the Grammar School for their support and help in the initial years of the school and 100 years later I too, in presenting this one hundredth report, do Iikewise.
