One very important part of the Grammar way of life is school spirit. Grammar spirit, which is displayed in the culmination of extra-curricular activities such as the Cinema Classics and the Head of the River, is encapsulated in the Term Three theme. "Unleash the Spirit'! At the beginning of Term Three the girls were challenged to unleash their spirit through the various House and School activities such as Interhouse Athletics and Choir. At all the winter fixtures and aGSSSA Rhythmic Gymnastics the Grammar spirit was present in all the "blueness" of the supporters For the Year Twelves, Term Three brought the aCS test. It was more bearable because of the war cries and support the school and staff gave us Fourth Term saw the letter 'E' represent the notion of "Extending Oneself" beyond Your comfort zone and expanding Your horizons. in all spheres of our school life, academic, music, sport and culturalIy, students are constantly being asked to extend themselves, and this was showcased proudly on Open Day. For many. the preparation and the build up for the day. produced as much fun and bonding as the day itself. We are sure that any visitor to the school would have been amazed at the infectious sense of community spirit that each girl carried with her To all the teachers and staff, we thank You for Your continuous, caring endeavours to assist us all to reach new heights, and Your never ending support and guidance Special thanks must go to Miss Williams, Miss Hatton and Mr Seaha for their tireless efforts and guidance. Mrs MCConaghy and Mr Dale have nurtured and supported

us endlessly over our senior Years, and we thank You. Your genuine care and guidance is much loved and appreciated When we entered the Year in our new positions it was a comfort to know we weren't the only new ones, Mrs Bell gave us her unrelenting support as she herself was finding her feet, and we thank her warmly for all her kindness and assistance throughout the Year. The success that the girls and the school enjoy, within the full spectrum of our education, is a tribute to the commitment of our teachers and staff What is the spirit of BGGS? How can we define it? One wonders it it is the pride we have in our school and in each other or could it be the courageous enthusiasm we have for our future? Could it be the freedom we are given to navigate our own career pathway or is it anything we want it to be? Whatever it is, the word BLUE, metaphorically and physically captures a host of positive feelings towards our school Even though this Year has been different, it is so much the same in so many ways The seniors of 2002 have carried the Grammar tradition on faithfully and the Grammar spirit is as bright as it has always been
