EDITORIAL Nil Sine Laboi'e. As school 1110tto it has resounded in my ears countless times as I waded througlT endless assignments. exams and co- curricular activities. This motto has become synonymous with the spirit orchallenge and determined effort which has placed tills school's past students in a wide range of professions and careers all over the world The basis to I' this success calll, e found in the cheerful. if SIIohtly masochistIC. deter minatioi\ witlT which the students of this school approach the innumerable activities and duties they have accepted responsibility for As I flip through last year's Inagazine it is obvious that the scope of these activities is enormous Ginbi'acing every ing f^o1tt the sports teams to the numerous itTusic groups to all 111e other school clubs. it seems to me that the nTotto Nil Sine Labore niight well be changed to "11T Pursuit of Excellence" in recognition of this dedicated enthusiasm Represented ill tlTe pages of the 1990 School Magazine is the suni and total of the vai'IOUs endeavours willch the B. G. G. S. students have undertaken dui. ing this year and it is due in ITo small part to the concerted effort of Mrs Kiolle. MTS Hadgraft. Mrs KiiTiber and the Magazine ConTinittee that the School Magazine once again appears in print. Felltio de Ldoi

The 1990 scliool year was bi'ought to a close. as it is ti'adjtionally. by the Year Twelve Valedictory Dinner and End of Year Assembly. Both are happy and sad occasions for the Year Twelves as they reflect upon the many friends and ITtemories that theiryears at Brisbane Girls' Grammar have left them with Finally. we must say how proud we are to have been able to represent B. G. G. S. this year. Sincere thanks must go to the students, in particular the Year Twelves, whose unending friendship and CO-OPei'ation made the year the success that it was. Thank you to Mrs Hancock, Mr Dale. Miss Hatton and the staff for all their support ai}d guidance 1990 has certainly been a memorable year and one that we are extremely glad to have been a part of. 10nnnu Malt/ tind Kyfie Kirin

HEAD GIRLS' REPORT Our year as Head Gii'Is. froiii its outset, was destined to be the most cliallenging of our five years at B. G. G. S. : nowever. the year would not have been as enjoyable witliotit the support of the dedicated Prefects and the Year Twelve body First tel'in began with the Year Eiglit Orientation Day. and for us it seented such a short time ITad passed since we had been in that position. in early February. the Prefect Induction took place and the Pierects immediately filled their role as school "law enfoi'CGrs". h was comforting to know that we had such ait eager and responsible group of girls supporting us 1990 sawthe continuation o11he Restoration and Building Fund Appeal. and logethei' we attended various tnnctions in SLIPport of this. OUT secoi}d annual Fun Run took place lit April and once again provided aiT opportunity for school families and fi. iends to come together for a day that was enjoyed by all present Froin the start of the year the Prefects' Inajor aim was to increase the level of school spirit. h was apparent at the first of the Q. G. S. S. S. A. competitions. the interschool swimming. that this aim was well on its way to being achieved. This initial show of support froiTT the girls was tremendous. and was evident at subsequent Q. G. S. S. S. A and InterITOuse competitions Scliool Day was held on August 18. and once again doors were opened for school families. friends and the general public to see the school on show. The highlights of School Day included the combined BOS. /B. G. CS. debate. the Year Twelve Fashion Parade and the Market Place.

However. without the help of Mrs Hancock. Sister Wheelwright. the mistresses and the staff who conducted junior prep. the year would neither have run so smoothly nor have been so eventful. The efforts of the dorm seniors, Megaii Kimbell and Najasha GOTdoiT for. Year Eleven. Vicki Eden and Tanja Mertens for Year Ten. Samaya Tilney and Nina Shrapnel for Year Nine. and Susan Proctor and Heldi Ford for Year Eight. nave also been greatly appreciated. Oui' indispensable Mail Girls, Rebecca Allman and Paula Reseck. must be acknowledged and applauded as well On tile whole. 1990 has been a ITappy and memorable year for the Boarding House. which is still. without doubt. the backbone of the school

Katlirine MCDonald and Emma Appleton designed a bright and novel Boarders' T-shirt this year. witl\ our 1110/10. 100% Boarder. Ginblazoned across the front in illdescent pink. The day girls turned iridescent green with envv Tile restoretioiT of the Boardii\g House continued this year witlt the addition of some glamorous new bathrooms for the use of 111e seniorgirls. FtiltlTel' renovations are viewed with anticipatioi\ as a result of the success of these first bathi'o0ms Dui'ing the year the boarders up held their usual high level of pal'ticipation in the day school.
