always notable acaclemic sllccesses. It appears that our fre- quently relerred to competitive edge is being enhanced rvith each change and each improvement in standard. Each improve- ment is inevitably a direct resr-tlt of student ancl stalf response to the motto "Nil Sine Labore", to which could be added "Nothing Wlthout Change". It is in accordance with the spirit of Brisllane Gids Grammar School that this magazine is compiled. To serve as a reflection of our collective eflorts, achievements ancl activities. To selve as a reminder of all that we are capable of if only we work hard and respond to change. To sele as a response to urhat we see the year to have been, tct interpret it, summarise it, remember it lt is with this intention that we pre-sent the 1998 Brisbane Girls Grammerr School magazine to yot1, lhe reacler, as the encapsu- lation of what it is to be us.

f) apicl respons( to changc is identified as the key in- I\gredient in todry's world, where transition has become a permanent state. It is also regardecl as essential to Brisbane Girls Gramrnar School. 1998 has indeecl proven this statement to be true as it has been a gre:rt year of change rn response to nen'conditions, ancl each change has been carried out with the appropriate clegree of responsibility. The school has continrred to recognise that it is not a mcrely static institution, but a constantly evolving collcction of grotrps and inclivlduals, each with their own recluirements and arnbrtions. Two of the most notable changes have been the introduc- tion of a new house, lVlackay, and the replacement of the traclitional prefect system with that of the honour awards Mackay House has not only provided the challenge ol finding new nine-1aned sporting venlles, but has also added a new clin-rension to the house structttre, enabling smaller house groups to remain clespite rising stttdent numbers. Secondly, the acijustment to the new honour awarcls system rvas incleed a 1arge, yet extremely worthwhile one. It has resulted in a new means of acknowledgement w'hereby contributions are re- u'arded in the most significant manner, through nomination by peers and teachers. This has proved itself to be a far more workable system, f:rr more representative ancl far less stunted by the shackles of traclition. Change is also apparent nearly every day within the school in the continually rising standard of out efforts; from musical pursuits, epitomisecl by the Proms Concert, to spofiing perform- ances. with exceptional achievements in diverse fields, and our

The girls responsible for organising this year's formal are to be monthly meetings this year has exceeded fifty. There has also been an increase in the number of members who have joined in our program of working bees at both the Brisbane and Tmbil Campuses The increased support

Containing the cost of staging this event and thus avoiding the need to increase ticket prices was asigntficantachievement in August, we held the inaugural Father Daughter Dinner in the School Auditorium. Sev- enty-five fathers and their daughters shared in this event. Special guests in- cluded Mr Wayne Goss, , Mrs Iudith Hancock and Mrs Sue Coney. Reaction to the eventng was ex- tremely positive with many people requesting feet cooking approxi- mately one thousand hamburgers and dispens- ing some seventy-five cartons of soft drink and bouled water. While this day is a busy one, it is also a great deal of fun. Following consulta- tion with Mrs Hancock, the Fathers' Group re- solved to sponsor two prizes which are to be presented annually at Speech Day - the Fathers' Group Perpetual Trophy for Best All-rounder in Year Eleven and the E W.

The most recog- nisable project was the painting of the perimeter fence that runs along Gregory Terrace.

Other plans for the Cente- nary year include a Gala Dinner to be held in the Old Assembly Hall in the main Administration building on Saturday March 13, 1999. This date has been chosen because of the School's Foundation Day on March 15. We hope that representatives from various year groups, particularly those planning their decade reunions in 1999 will take the opportunity to be recogiitsed on this evening We were very pleased to present to the school a wonderful new flag which is now used for special occasions within the school.
