Cornrnon experience has forged a collective identity - Brisbane Cirls' Grammar Girls of 1988. Every studeni has made a contribution to the ethos of the school, whether in academic, musical, sporting or dramatic fields, or simply being a good citizen' There has been a marked spirit of co-operation among, the Seniors. We thank all Grade Twelves for thein unrending support. The triumphs and tribulations of Grade Tielve were shared. lt was a year we were glad to bre a part of and proud to represent. Thank you to Mrs Hancock, Mr Dale, Miss l--{atton and all teacheis for their help and guidance. Oun year as Flead Girls has certainly breen a memorable one. ffiffiAD ffi@ARDERS'RffiP@RT Nil sine Ia boander (Nothing without boarders) was the motto for this year and we let the school know it by featuring this adage on our beautif ul, brilliant, bonza new T-sliirts, designed by Alice Thomsett. Flowever, that was only the first step of our plan - b.oarders rule the school! Well, not quite, but we have stillstood out as an assemblage who work welltogether and we have proven that we ai" a uery important part of the school. Throughout the year, the boarders have come together u, u grJup and as a result we have raised many dollars and have enjoyed manY social events. On Saturday, 16th July, we held our ever-popular car wash. The outcome of this was not only that there were hundreds of sparkling, clean cars driving around Brissy brut also that we raised over $500, a quarter o{ this going to the leukaemia fund and the rest to boarders' amenities. At the beginning of the year we produced, for the first time, a boardersr newsletter (Boarders' Babble)' Margie Carroll is the co-ordinator but the entire boarding house contributes to make it a whole team effort. lt is distributed every month and contains write-u.ps on various activities that have happened, poems and other little surprises. On June 1st and 2nd we put on the musical 'Annie'for the school. Cirls practised for ten weeks and the end product was very pleasing.
