Q. G. S. S. S. A. 1992 saw an attempt to increase the number of spoi'is offered in the Q. G. S. S. S. A. Sporting Calender with Ihi'ee schools, BGGS. St Peter's and BSHS, inforinally compel- ing in a Tenri 2 Basketball Competition. This initiative I. an successfully with an Open, U16 and U14 team froni each school competing on a "home and away" basis. Unfortunately, this new sport has not gained official sanc- lion, but it is hoped interest will incl'ease as schools' facili- lies improve and an official competition will evolve This yeai. was also histoi'ic for BGGS as it saw oui. with- drawal from the Ballgames Competition. TITis activity has become all anachronism in oui' sporting calendei' with o111ei' schools re-evaluating their Involvement, with 111e view to Incorporating a spoi'I such as Basketball in its SIGad. We look forwai'd to these enlightened views

To enhance the pro- gi'am and to shift the Ginpliasis from Sprint events, a 200m medley event was also added. The 16 years age oroup placed second on the day and we look forwai'd to contin- ued success in 1993. Girls' Grammar's 11'adjtion of success in ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS continued this yeai. , with six premier- ships from nine divisions in the May Competition. All teams pel'foimed brilliantly, the pennants being won with style. The A Glade Competition was of a very high SIan- dai'd and our team peltormed artmii'ably. The youno. but experienced Moleton Bay College team were the eventual victors, will\ Grammar finishing 31'd. only one point behind BSHS Tite result, among the best fi'om any Q. CS. S. S.
